A 15-year-old boy was shot in the abdomen in the Bronx shortly before 9:30 a.M. On Thursday while on his way to school, according to New York City police. The victim, Javits Frimpong, was identified as the son of a woman living in Ghana.
New York City Mayor Eric Adams confirmed that U.S. President Donald Trump has agreed to grant the mother a visa. The decision comes after the boy’s father reported that his son had been bullied before the shooting. Surveillance footage shows the boy running away from pursuers.
The incident has raised questions about the circumstances surrounding the shooting. The boy’s father told authorities about the bullying, which may have contributed to the tragedy. Mayor Adams has spoken with President Trump about the case, emphasizing the need for support for the family.
This case highlights ongoing concerns about youth safety and bullying in urban areas. The mother’s visa approval is seen as a step toward providing her with the means to be with her son. The investigation into the shooting is ongoing, with authorities seeking to determine the full circumstances of the incident.
