In Loving Memory of Besim Brady Muminovic (2003 – 2025) “Gone too soon, but never forgotten.”
The Brooklyn community is mourning the heartbreaking loss of Besim Brady Muminovic, a vibrant and beloved young man whose life was tragically cut short in a devastating motorcycle accident late Sunday night. Besim, only 22 years old, passed away after a collision involving a white Mercedes Benz sedan while exiting the westbound ramp of the Belt Parkway in the Sheepshead Bay section of Brooklyn.
According to the New York Police Department, the crash occurred just after 11:30 p.m., when both the motorcycle and sedan were traveling at a high rate of speed as they exited the parkway. The impact was so severe that the Mercedes flipped over, striking three parked cars. Despite efforts by first responders, Besim was rushed to a nearby hospital, where he was sadly pronounced deceased.
A 28-year-old passenger from the sedan, who was critically injured, was transported to the same hospital but later succumbed to their injuries. The driver of the Mercedes fled the scene on foot and is currently being sought by police, leaving behind heartbreak, unanswered questions, and a grieving community searching for justice.
Residents of the area describe the stretch of the Belt Parkway as a spot frequently plagued by speeding and reckless driving. “If you’re ever outside late at night, you can hear the engines flying by,” said one witness, Stephen Livshits, who was visiting family nearby. “They go nuts on the Belt sometimes on this stretch.” Unfortunately, this all-too-common recklessness has now claimed another promising life.
Those who knew Besim Brady Muminovic remember him as a passionate, kindhearted, and spirited young man with a love for adventure and a deep appreciation for life.
