RICHMOND, Va. — Dozens gathered Sunday afternoon for the annual Ride with Geo race in Richmond, honoring the memory of Geo Morton, a beloved member of the local BMX community who died in 2023
The Armstrong High School student was killed in August 2023 while riding his bike home from working at a Wendy's restaurant. Police said a teen in a stolen car, who was being chased by police, fatally struck Morton along Williamsburg Road in Richmond.
The event included Geo's mother and sister, who watched as racers paid tribute with a silent parade lap around the track.
"We're proud to honor him every year for the legacy he left behind, helping young kids become better riders," organizers said.
