Javits Frimpong was 15. He came from Ghana a year ago to go to school in the Bronx, and he wanted to be a doctor. He was shot on his way to school on October 29. No one has been arrested.
After he died, his family shared pages from his school journal. These are his words, Mayor Zohran Mamdani's statement from October 31, and a voice note from the two of us.
Most importantly, support the Frimpong family. If you know something, call NYPD Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS. Tips are confidential.
