A fatal hit-and-run crash that ended the life of a 16-year-old Queens basketball star could put another teen behind bars for up to 15 years.

Yaser Ibrahim, 18, of Levittown, L.I., was arraigned Wednesday on an 11-count indictment, charging criminally negligent homicide, second-degree manslaughter, second-degree assault and leaving the scene of an accident and other crimes for the April crash that killed 16-year-old Jayden McLaurin while he was riding an electric Citi Bike in Astoria.

The Queens district attorney’s office said that Ibrahim, who had no insurance and was driving by himself illegally with only a learner’s permit, blew through a red light at 21st St. and 21st Ave. around 9:46 p.m. on April 10, slamming into Jayden, who was returning home from basketball practice.

Yaser, who was driving a 2022 BMW X7 with heavily tinted windows, kept going even though he knew he struck someone, stopping several blocks away to call his father, prosecutors said.

Jayden, a 10th grader at Martin Luther King High School for Law Advocacy and Community Justice, was taken to Harlem Hospital, where he died.

The NYPD originally charged Yaser with leaving the scene of an accident and illegal tinting on the windows of the luxury car he was driving, but the Queens DA on Wednesday said that the crime was much worse than that.

“The rules of the road and licensing requirements exist to prevent tragedies like this one,” District Attorney Melinda Katz said. “We will hold the defendant accountable and seek justice for the young victim and his loved ones.”

Jayden’s mother Porscha McLaurin, 34, said that she hasn’t stopped crying since her son’s death.

“He altered our lives, his negligence altered our lives,” she said of her son’s killer. “We’ll never get to see [Jayden’s] laughter.

“We dealing with a whole lot of hurt for these past two months while this guy is free.”

Dozens of friends and family members gathered Wednesday outside the family’s Astoria apartment, where they remember the promising point guard.

Jayden — or “Jay Mula,” as his friends and family called him — fell in love with basketball at the age of 6, first rooting for Kobe Bryant, then LeBron James, whom he admired for his “mental toughness,” his mom said.

Jayden played in Police Athletic League tournaments and hoped to make his high school varsity team next year. After his death, the NYPD hosted a tournament in his honor.

He was a “hustle player who played good defense and offense,” his mother said.

Jayden also coached younger players.

“He worked well with kids of all ages and would look to help the younger kids with basketball,” she said. “He wanted to perfect basketball as his craft.”

Even with 15 years of state prison time hanging over the teenage driver’s head, the family of Jayden said that they felt justice was a long way from being served.

Jayden’s aunt said that the family, who sat in Queens Supreme Court to watch the arraignment, thought that Yaser’s behavior that night, and at the hearing today, led them to believe he was cavalier about his actions.

“There’s no remorse behind his actions,” Jayden’s aunt Tiana Steward, 36, said about the crime. “He parked the car, called his father, he went out like nothing and you knew you hit something — the windshield broke.”

Steward said that in the courtroom on Wednesday, Yaser appeared to take the hearing lightly.

“He was smiling — multiple people that seen him smiling when he left the courtroom. He doesn’t know what he did to our family,” she said.

Yaser’s lawyer Michael Horn disagreed, saying that the Long Island teen is currently in therapy to deal with the trauma of the fatal crash.

“That’s not fair,” Horn told the Daily News. “I know that Yaser is very upset about this. He’s very saddened by what happened, but it was an accident.”

Horn disputes some of the facts that the Queens DA laid out in the indictment.

“My client had the green light,” he said, adding that Yaser fled the scene because he was intimidated by an angry crowd that had gathered around the mortally injured teen.

Horn also said that Jayden was driving the Citi Bike recklessly and rode into the path of his client’s BMW SUV.

“The victim took an e-bike from directly across the street,” Horn said. “He just shot across the street, when any person would have seen Yaser coming in a big SUV.”

He said that his client called his father, who brought him back to the scene to speak to police after they felt it was safe.

He said that both the victim and the driver had been reckless.

“These are two children acting like they’re immortal,” he said.
