15-year-old Ghanaian boy shot dead on way to school in New York

An innocent 15-year-old Ghanaian boy named Javits Frimpong was tragically killed in the Bronx, New York, after reporting ongoing incidents of bullying at school, according to his father Thomas Frimpong, a 60-year-old man. Javits had been residing with his father in the United States for precisely one year before the devastating shooting incident.

The Bronx Police Department (NYPD) confirmed that the teenager sustained a single gunshot wound near East 171st Street and Crotona Place in the Claremont neighborhood of the Bronx. Upon receiving the news, Mr. Frimpong was initially informed that his son was absent from school, and then later informed about the shooting. Upon arriving at the hospital, he learned that his son had unfortunately passed away.

Javits was depicted as a calm and reserved teenager who seldom caused trouble, spending most of his time on his phone. In the days leading up to the tragedy, he had shared his concerns about being bullied by some students, which had been addressed by the school principal through the suspension of two involved students. Despite these reports, Mr. Frimpong believed his son was innocent and hadn't experienced any further trouble at school.

He also mentioned that his son had reported being bullied during lunchtime by a particular student, who continued to harass him. The NYPD is currently searching for three teenage boys, believed to be between 16 and 18 years old, who were last seen in black clothing and blue surgical masks during the incident. The police have yet to determine the exact circumstances surrounding the shooting that occurred near the apartment where Javits lived with his father.

Mr. Frimpong has urged those responsible for his son's death to surrender to the police and face justice.
