President Trump has agreed to grant a visa to the mother of 15-year-old Javits Frimpong, shot dead in the Bronx on his way to school.
NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani said Saturday that President Trump has agreed to grant a visa to the mother of 15-year-old Javits Frimpong, allowing her to travel from Ghana to New York to mourn her son. Frimpong was shot in the abdomen on his way to school in the Bronx shortly before 9:30 a.m. on Thursday and was pronounced dead at a hospital later that day. He had arrived in the Bronx from Ghana a year ago, according to U.S. Rep. Ritchie Torres. "The murder of a child is a pain no parent should have to endure, let alone from thousands of miles away," Mamdani wrote on social media. "Javits Frimpong's mother deserves to say goodbye to her son in person. I just got off the phone with President Trump and he has agreed to grant her visa immediately." No arrests have been made and police have not named a suspect or disclosed a motive. The White House did not immediately respond to requests confirming the visa would be issued.
