Police have identified the driver who allegedly fled the scene as Jonathan Mora. They are still searching for the 23-year-old as of Monday.
Meanwhile, Zion's family is trying to raise money for the 10-year-old's funeral on GoFundMe.
They have also planned a car wash fundraiser for September 30th at 4445 East Charleston Blvd. The car wash will take place from 9am to 4pm.
According to loved ones, the 10-year-old had a deep love for God.
"Zion was the first one at the altar, at church service and he'd be the very first one on his knees praying," said aunt Mayra Ramos.
It is that love that inspired the family to donate his organs.
According to Jimenez, her son's kidneys, liver, pancreas and heart went to four people in need.
"Just to know that my son lives in somebody else is a blessing to me, because I know that's what Zion would have wanted," she said.
