  "summary": "A 15-year-old Ghanaian boy, Javits Frimpong, was fatally shot in the Bronx borough of New York, United States, while walking near his school, according to CBS News. The incident occurred on Thursday near East 171st Street and Crotona Place in the Claremont section of the Bronx, with the teenager shot once in the abdomen. Police have taken the teenager to a hospital, where he was later pronounced dead. Three teenage suspects, aged between 16 and 18, are being sought by authorities, who were last seen wearing black clothing and blue surgical masks. Frimpong's father, Thomas Frimpong, revealed that his son had moved from Ghana to the United States about a year ago and had reported instances of bullying to school authorities several times. The school and New York City Department of Education have not yet responded to these allegations.",
