Story summary

On October 27, 2026, 15-year-old Javits Frimpong, who recently moved to New York City from Ghana and was experiencing bullying at school, was fatally shot while walking to class in the Bronx. The incident occurred around 9:25 a.m. near East 171 Street and Third Avenue, close to Crotona Park. According to police reports, three suspects, likely aged between 16 and 18 and dressed entirely in black, fled the scene after firing shots.

Following the shooting, New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani contacted US President Donald Trump to request a visa for Frimpong's mother so she could visit her son's grave. Trump agreed, granting an immediate visa to the Ghanaian woman on October 31, as reported by several outlets including The Independent World and Al Jazeera.

The tragedy has sparked widespread community mourning, with thousands attending vigils in support of Frimpong, highlighting concerns over immigrant safety and school bullying in New York City.
