Mother now calling for justice after
her son was gunned down in the Bronx.
Police are still searching for those suspects.
Frances Wang, what do you know this morning?
Well, Rosanna, we can tell you this is absolutely devastating.
The mother, she sent her son to America with hopes of a better future.
Now she is making that same journey from Ghana to New York to bury him.
For the first time, we are hearing
from the mother of 15-year-old Javits Frimpong.
As police tell us this morning, still no arrests in his killings.
A community is grieving and demanding answers.
You see here dozens taken to the streets of the Bronx last night,
calling for justice for 15-year-old Javits Frimpong.
There have actually been several vigils, rallies, walkouts
since the teenager was shot and killed last Thursday
while he was on his way to school
in the Claremont section of the Bronx.
Police say they are searching for three teenage suspects
as investigators also work to determine why Javits was targeted.
His father says he had recently moved here from Ghana,
but instead of finding a fresh start,
his father says he faced repeated bullying from classmates.
Police have not confirmed whether bullying played a role in his death.
And now his mother, Doris Adu Gyamfi,
is making the journey from Ghana to New York.
Her U.S. visa was expedited following an appeal
from Mayor Mamdani to President Trump.
A mother who had dreamed of watching her son build a future here,
now speaking out about
the future he'll never get to have.
Justice for my son, that's all.
She said she wants justice for her son.
I want my son to become a doctor.
Yes, she wanted her son to become a doctor,
and that was what he was hoping to become.
And this morning, three suspects
are still being sought in connection with his killing.
Anyone with information is asked
to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS.
Dan Rosanna.
Okay, thank you so much, Frances.
