The body of a 24-year-old Ghanaian, Joseph Owusu, was discovered at a dumpsite in the Bronx, nearly two weeks after he went missing, leaving the Ghanaian community in New York in mourning. Owusu, who was an organist at the Ghana United Methodist Church in the Bronx, was found among discarded waste by a scrap collector. His death followed the tragic shooting of Javits Badu Nkansah Frimpong, a 15-year-old Ghanaian, in the same borough two weeks prior.

Frimpong was fatally shot while reportedly heading to school and later died despite being rushed to the hospital. The Ghanaian community is deeply saddened by these back-to-back losses. Authorities are working to ascertain the circumstances surrounding Owusu's disappearance and the events leading to his tragic discovery.
