Disclosed details of the murder of a student on the way to class

In New York, police detained a 17-year-old teenager on suspicion of killing 15-year-old Javits Frimpong, who moved to the United States from Ghana. The schoolboy was shot dead on October 29 in the Bronx area as he was walking to class. This was reported by the Associated Press.

The detainee was charged with murder and other crimes. His identity has not been officially disclosed. The cause of the attack, investigators have not yet established.

Relatives of the deceased said that shortly before the murder, the boy was bullied by other students. According to the father, the school even suspended two teenagers from classes because of the abuse of his son. Police are investigating whether the conflict may have led to the shooting. Among the other versions considered is a robbery.

Frimpong came to the United States about a year ago to live with his father and get an education. He dreamed of becoming a doctor or dedicating himself to military service.

The killing sparked protests in New York and drew the attention of Ghanaian authorities. Prominent American lawyer Ben Crump and human rights activist Al Sharpton joined the demands to establish the circumstances of the crime.

New York Mayor Zhran Mamdani appealed to US President Donald Trump to help the mother of the deceased get a visa. She was in Ghana and wanted to come to the United States. She later managed to arrive in New York.

At a press conference on November 11, relatives demanded to establish not only the perpetrators, but also the motive for the crime. Despite the detention of one suspect, the investigation has not yet given an answer why the student was the victim of an armed attack.
