'Oh. I have only one child' - Javits Frimpong's mother breaks down at press briefing

Millicent Frimpong, a sister of Javits Frimpong, has been advocating for justice for her deceased brother. Speaking at a news conference in Harlem, she shared how her brother had always dreamed of joining the US military after finishing high school. He was the youngest of four siblings, three of whom served in the army, with one still serving.

Millicent herself is a veteran. She revealed that Javits was so eager to serve that he even asked her to save his uniform for him. Millicent pleaded for help in securing justice for her brother. A 17-year-old boy has been arrested in connection with Javits's murder and has been charged with intentional murder, manslaughter, second-degree murder, and two counts of criminal possession of a weapon.

Ben Crump, the lawyer representing the Ghanaian government, assured that they would secure justice for Javits. Ambassador Samuel Yao Kumah, the Ghanaian Permanent Representative to the UN, advised Ghanaians in the US to remain vigilant and report bullying to the police. According to police, the teen suspect was arrested by the NYPD Violent Crimes Task Force, and charges are still pending.

Javits was fatally shot in the stomach on October 29 near East 171st Street and Third Avenue while walking to school. Harrowing video shows the wounded teen running for his life before collapsing and later dying. Javits's father, Thomas Frimpong, believes his son was bullied, a claim the principal made two days before the murder, stating that two boys had fought with his son and were subsequently suspended.

NYPD Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny stated that the alleged bullying was one aspect they were investigating, along with other factors. The ambassador assured the bereaved family of support for a fitting funeral, with consular services already provided and further assistance planned for the burial scheduled for the following Friday.
