17-year-old boy arrested over m¥rder of 15-year-old Ghanaian boy sh%t de@d while walking to school in New York A 17-year-old boy has been arrested in connection with the m¥rder of 15-year-old Javits Frimpong, who was fatally sh%t while walking to school in the Bronx, New York, on October 29. The suspect has been charged with m¥rder, mansla¥ghter and two counts of criminal possession of a we@pon, according to the New York Police Department. Javits, a student of DreamYard Preparatory School, was sh%t near East 171st Street and Third Avenue shortly before 9:30 a.m. He was rushed to St. Barnabas Hospital but later d+ed from his inj¥ries. His father, Thomas Frimpong, said the school had previously contacted him about two boys who were suspended following complaints that they b¥llied his son. Friends also said Javits had an altercation with two students days before the sh%%ting, although investigators have not linked the incident to his de@th. Javits and his father moved from Ghana to the US about a year ago. Loved ones described him as a respectful and intelligent teenager with dreams for the future. His de@th sparked vigils and rallies attended by family members, classmates and community residents demanding justice. Faith leaders and members of the Ghanaian community also called for an end to g¥n vi%lence. Meanwhile, New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani said he spoke with US President Donald Trump, who agreed to immediately grant Javits’ mother a visa to travel from Ghana and attend her son’s funeral. The family has also hired prominent civil rights lawyer Ben Crump, who said Javits “deserved to make that walk safely.”
