The funeral for 15-year-old Javits Frimpong, who was killed in the United States, has been scheduled for November 20 as authorities continue efforts to bring his killers to justice.
Javits Frimpong, a 15-year-old Ghanaian student, is set to be laid to rest on November 20. Authorities are actively seeking to hold his killers accountable. His family, along with members of the Ghanaian community in the Bronx, are determined to seek justice and put an end to gun violence in their neighborhood. Police are investigating three potential scenarios: a robbery, mistaken identity involving a rival gang, and school bullying.
The teenager's mother, Doris Adu Gyamfi, has returned to New York and has been advocating for justice since her son's death on October 29. The NYPD has identified three suspects, believed to be between 16 and 18 years old, but no arrests have been made. Gun violence in the area is a pressing concern, with Bronx Borough President Vanessa Gibson highlighting the ease of obtaining firearms.
