  "account": "The father of 15-year-old Javits Frimpong, a Ghanaian teen shot dead on his way to school in the Bronx, has accused his son of being bullied at DreamYard preparatory school. Principal of the school recently informed Thomas Frimpong that two students were suspended for harassing his son. The NYPD was alerted to a shooting near Crotona Park in the Bronx on Thursday morning, October 29, and found Javits with a gunshot wound to his stomach. He was rushed to a local hospital but was pronounced dead. Mayor Zohran Mamdani expressed his condolences and mentioned that President Trump has agreed to grant Javits' mother a visa immediately. No arrests have been made yet, and police are searching for three teenage boys in connection with the incident. Surveillance footage shows Javits running with someone in all black trailing behind, and masked individuals fleeing the scene. Thomas Frimpong described his son as \"clever\" and \"quiet\", and expressed his grief over losing his \"clever\" son. Ghana's Minister of Foreign Affairs, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, condemned the attack, vowing to pursue justice and hold those responsible accountable.",
