Nylik Roger Moore

Age 18

York, Pennsylvania

Music lover will sing no more

He loved the New York Giants, and he loved to sing. He would serenade his family members every chance he had. “He was no Luther Vandross, but he tried,” his mother said of his singing and songwriting.

“I see how hard it is out there now,” he once told his mom, which made her fear. “I'm going to die here [in York] or go to jail here.”

Nylik Roger Moore, 18, was out visiting a friend when he was shot in the back on April 24, 2018, in York, Pennsylvania.
