The Government of Ghana has pledged to seek justice for 15-year-old Ghanaian teen, Javits Frimpong, who was shot dead in the Bronx, New York. Foreign Affairs Minister Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa said the government is working closely with US authorities to investigate the incident and bring the perpetrators to justice. Police are exploring several potential motives, including bullying, robbery, and mistaken identity.
Javits' father reported suspensions for his son due to alleged bullying at school. Despite no arrests yet, NYPD continues to investigate the case.
