Story summary

Javits Frimpong, a 15-year-old boy from Ghana, was fatally shot on his way to school in the Bronx around 9:25 am on October 27. According to reports, he was chased and shot by three males believed to be between 16 and 18 years old who fled the scene wearing all black clothing. Frimpong had been in the United States for only a year, facing severe bullying that his father reported multiple times.

Mayor Zohran Mamdani spoke with President Donald Trump, securing a visa so Frimpong's mother could attend her son’s funeral from Ghana. The shooting has sparked community outrage and solidarity; thousands attended vigils in support of the boy and his family.
