The mother of a 15-year-old Ghanaian boy, Javits Frimpong, who was killed in the Bronx, New York, has traveled to the United States to arrange her son's funeral and seek justice. Doris Adu Gyamfi made the journey after receiving an emergency visa approved by President Donald Trump. Gyamfi expressed her desire for justice, stating, "I want justice for my son."
Javits, who had only been in the United States for a year, was chased and shot while heading to school. He was taken to a nearby hospital, where he was pronounced dead. Police have not made any arrests yet, and investigations are still ongoing. Three teenage boys are being sought as suspects. The Ghanaian government has condemned the killing and is monitoring the investigation, urging US authorities to conduct a thorough probe.
The incident has sparked outrage in Ghana and the United States over gun violence and the safety of young people, especially Ghanaian children studying abroad.
