Ten year old Shamar Porter was biking home from a Little League game when a red van fatally hit him yesterday evening. Porter had been biking near where Williams Avenue meets Linden Boulevard (map)when the car hit him; he was taken to the hospital, but doctors were unable to save him. His team, the Brownsville Rec Center's Athletics, had just advanced to the championship game. The driver, who remained at the scene, was not charged, though a mob of people tried to remove him from the car.
