[Office of the Public Advocate Jumaane D. Williams @nycpa]

We mourn the 15-year-old Ghanaian New Yorker whose life was stolen by gun violence. He deserved a future, and his family deserved to see him grow up.

We send our deepest condolences to his loved ones and the Bronx community grieving this heartbreaking loss.

[Rep. Ritchie Torres @RepRitchie]

Yesterday morning, 15-year-old Javits Frimpong was shot and killed near Crotona Park on his way to school. Javits came to the Bronx from Ghana just a year ago to join his father and begin a new life here. Our entire borough is mourning a young man who should have had his whole future ahead of him.

I am grateful to the officers of the 42nd Precinct who rushed Javits to St. Barnabas Hospital in an effort to save his life. Those responsible must be held accountable, and I urge anyone with information to call NYPD Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS.

Every child in the Bronx deserves to walk to school without fearing for their life, and no parent should ever have to endure what Javits’s father, Thomas, is enduring now. My heart is with him and with everyone in Claremont grieving today.

[Adriano Espaillat @RepEspaillat]

My heart breaks for the family of 15 year old Javits Frimpong, who died from gun violence Thursday. Another innocent life taken senselessly and another family devastated by the tragedy of gun violence. Enough is enough, and families deserve solutions.

🚨ICYMI🇬🇭🇺🇸✊🏿: Leading Ghanaian diaspora advocacy group @ghpac in the USA is demanding justice, a transparent @NYPDnews investigation into Javits’ case and accountability from NY education authorities over previous bullying complaints.

The group has urged @NYCMayor Zohran Mamdani and Congressman @RitchieTorres to engage Ghanaian and African immigrant communities, calling for broader scrutiny of the issues surrounding the case.

GHPAC representatives have also reportedly contacted Torres’ team to help secure a US visa for Javits’ mother, Doris Adu Gyamfi, who remains in Kumasi.

Torres’ office has yet to publicly confirm its involvement.

15-year-old Javits Frimpong was fatally shot on his way to school in the Bronx. His father believes the killing may be tied to bullying his son endured. He brought Javits from Ghana for a better life, only to lose him to violence. NO child should have to fear for their life on the way to school!

@themomadance12 @GovWesMoore Ghana is a democratic republic. Our chiefs (we dont call them kings) have cultural value to our community

[Ghana Diaspora PAC @ghpac]

@MDBayNews @GovWesMoore So he shouldnt have time for the Ghanaian American community? When MD is home to the largest Ghanaian American community in the country?

[Ghana Diaspora PAC @ghpac]

@TheDailyDissent @GovWesMoore Maryland is home to the largest community of Ghanaian Americans in the U.S. - hardworking Maryland citizens who likely never get another opportunity to greet the Asantehene.

Gov Moore was there because 1. we are constituents 2. it was at Bowie State 3. Intl Business opp for MD

Ghana’s Ambassador to the U.S., Victor Emmanuel Smith, has engaged Boeing in Seattle to explore a strategic partnership toward reviving a national airline.

The discussions focused on fleet acquisition, technical support, training, and maintenance, with the aim of boosting Ghana’s aviation sector, creating jobs, and strengthening its position as a key hub in West Africa. Boeing expressed optimism about Ghana’s aviation potential and welcomed further collaboration.
