Deputy Foreign Affairs Minister consoles mother of Bronx shooting victim Javits Frimpong
Javits had relocated to the United States about a year ago to join his father, Thomas Frimpong, 60, and was a student of DreamYard Preparatory School. He was a former student of Adisadel College in Cape Coast.
The Deputy Foreign Affairs Minister, James Gyakye Quayson, met with the mother of slain Ghanaian teenager Javits Badu Nkansah Frimpong in the Bronx, New York, to offer condolences and reaffirm Ghana's commitment to supporting the family. Frimpong, 15, was fatally shot while walking to school on October 29, 2026, and the NYPD is currently searching for three teenage suspects.
The incident has sparked grief and calls for justice, with tributes pouring in from various Ghanaian communities and figures such as rapper A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie.
