Gideon Desir was a North Miami Middle School student while the other two were Miami Edison High School students. None of them were related.

The driver, who has not been identified, survived the crash but was taken to Aventura Hospital in serious condition.
Police have not said what may have caused the driver to crash.
There is a GoFundMe page to help the families pay funeral costs for all three boys.
