A Brooklyn street was renamed Tuesday in honor of slain NYPD officer Wilbert Mora on what would have been his 29th birthday.

The hero cop and his rookie partner Jason Rivera, 22, were responding to a 911 call in Harlem on Jan. 21. 2022, when crazed career criminal Lashawn McNeil ambushed them.

Both officers were shot and mortally wounded.

Mora, who grew up in Williamsburg and attended PS 13, wanted to be a cop since elementary school, Mayor Eric Adams said at the corner of South 3rd and Keap Streets — which will now be known as “Detective Wilbert Mora Street.”.

“This is a community where a street sign is in place so that children in the future and current time will know that one of their own, a young child, grew up to serve and protect,” Adams said outside the public school Mora attended. 

“As we place this sign in this street, let’s also place a sign of safety in the city that we will continue to pursue,” the mayor added. 

Police Commissioner Edward Caban remembered Mora as “a truly special person” who was dedicated to his family who is “missed more and more every single day.”

“People will see the sign and read the name and ask the question, ‘who was he?’ And each time that happens it will be our chance to tell his story,” Caban told the crowd gathered for the street-renaming ceremony.

Mora’s mom, Emilia, briefly spoke in Spanish, saying how much it meant to have a street named in honor of her late son in the neighborhood that the family lived in after emigrating to the US.

“This is here where he learned and played with his friends,” she said, with Caban translating. 

“For our family, it is great pride that our son is being immortalized on this street and in this neighborhood, where we have so many fond memories of our hero.”
