Mother Flies from Ghana to New York Demanding Justice for Slain Teen Son

Madam Doris Adu Gyamfi flew from Ghana to New York seeking justice for her 15-year-old son Javits Frimpong, who was fatally shot in the stomach in the Claremont section of the Bronx while walking to school near East 173rd Street. Police are searching for three masked teenagers captured on surveillance footage. An eyewitness named Brian Emma attempted to help Javits by applying pressure to his wound. A growing memorial of candles and handwritten messages has formed at the shooting location. His mother stated simply: 'I want justice for my son. That's it.' The case has drawn attention from Ghana's Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Javits had emigrated for improved opportunities and his death has deeply affected the local immigrant community.
