On October 26, 2018, 23-year-old Jorge André Muñoz Sánchez was cycling to work when a driver going over the speed limit at the intersection of 11th and Vine Streets struck and killed him. After a four-year-long civil case, the family settled, holding the driver accountable for killing Jorge André.

Music was like air to Jorge André, a self-taught, amazingly talented musician and composer. Jorge André’s passion for music lifted his spirit; it was a sight to see him play as he left everything on stage. His musician friends became a lovely extended family with well lived experiences. Coming from a family legacy of cooks, traveling and culinary arts were set as goals. Trying foods from around the world served as an additional outlet for expression. Jorge André taught fellow musicians, loved cycling, hiking, and enjoyed life with family and friends. Check out Jorge André's music and his band here.

The Bicycle Coalition and Families for Safe Streets of Greater Philadelphia in collaboration with Jorge André Muñoz Sánchez's friends and family are hosting a silent, slow roll bike ride from 52nd and Locust St. to the site of Jorge's crash, 11th and Vine St. We will place an Angel bike at the crash site and hold a memorial on the 6th anniversary of his death.

Please join to honor Jorge's memory.
