The Schenectady community continues to mourn the loss of the 8-year-old boy killed in a hit-and-run last week.

Schenectady City Schools announced Friday that second grader Zion Delancy was the boy killed when he was struck near Crane Street and Chrisler Avenue around 7:30 p.m. last Wednesday. He was rushed to Ellis Hospital, where he died.

With another school week set to begin on Monday, counselors and social workers will continue to be available for students and staff.

Police say Conroy Simpson, 29 of Queens, has been arrested and charged with leaving the scene of an accident resulting in death and operating a motor vehicle without insurance.
