A 13-year-old Dearborn Heights boy was laid to rest last week in Detroit after being fatally shot in Yemen, the Arab American News reports.
The paper reported that Jayzon Mosed was buried last Thursday, and several hundred people attended the burial.
The paper reported:
Mosed’s uncle, Tarek Mosed, said his nephew died Sept. 19. Jayzon Mosed had spent almost two months in a coma at a Germen hospital in Yemen after he’d been shot in the head during an ambush in the country’s capital, Sanaa.
“He will never be forgotten,” Tarek Mosed said.
According to a report, 13 men surrounded a car and began opening fire while Jayzon Mosed was with family members. One of his uncles was killed in the attack. The teen was in Yemen vacationing with his family for the summer. His friends and family say he was full of life and loved sports, particularly Detroit-based teams.
The paper reported that Mosed attended Priest Elementary School in Detroit, as well as Canton Elementary and Star International Academy and played football.
