Vigil for teen shot and killed in the Bronx

Tonight the Bronx is coming together for Javits Frimpong, the 15 year old shot and killed on his way to school last week in the Claremont section. Clergy, classmates and neighbors are gathering to pray and remember him. Fox 5 says Kendall Green is there with them all. Kendall. Hey, good evening Natasha. This vigil is just getting started as we speak, but what a turnout this is. I'm just going to give you a look at what we're looking at right here. The mother of Javon Frimpong shared that she sent her son from Ghana to the U.S. for a shot at a better life, but instead, She's here on American soil to say goodbye. Now, tonight, the teen's mom could have more support than I'm sure she imagined here at the candlelight vigil. It's the second vigil this week held in her son's honor. Ghana's Ministry of Foreign Affairs shared this video of Frimpong's mother leaving Ghana, where she shared she's taking this long trip to the city for justice. Take a listen. Justice for my son, that's all. Now, today marks one week of unanswered questions of the murder of the 15-year-old. Police share that they're still on the search for three suspects believed to be connected. Now, while bullying is believed to be a contributing factor, the city's Department of Education is cooperating with the NYPD investigators seeking a motive. Now, the 10th grader at Dream Yard Prep was shot right here in Cortona Park. The cameras captured three masked individuals running away from the scene seconds later, and Frimpong was taken to the hospital where doctors lost their fight to save his life. Now, since his death, there have been walkouts. Demonstrations and outcries on social media denouncing bullying, but tonight's prayer vigil aims to add faith to that fight. We spoke to Minister Alejandro Zayas, who led his fifth prayer vigil this week, targeting deadly violence across the city, and he tells Fox 5 he offered Frimpong's mother and family an open invitation to tonight's vigil. The community, the city, the nation is actually crying with her. We are also hurt. This is our second vigil here, actually. And honestly, it's been hard to see how the community is suffering and hurting about this. I think that New York City has to do better for our youth. Now, the outcry here tonight is for justice, and it will be a fair answer if the individuals responsible for claiming Frimpong's life were to turn themselves in. We're live in Bronx tonight.
