  "summary": "A 15-year-old Ghanaian boy, Javits Frimpong, was fatally shot near his school in the Bronx borough of New York, United States, on Thursday. According to CBS News, Frimpong was shot once in the abdomen before being taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead. Police are searching for three teenage suspects, aged between 16 and 18, who were last seen wearing black clothing and blue surgical masks. Frimpong's father, Thomas, revealed that his son had been bullied by another student and had reported the incidents multiple times before the shooting. The school and the New York City Department of Education have not responded to the father's allegations.",
