Trump grants visa to mother of slain Ghanaian teen

United States President Donald Trump has agreed to grant an immediate visa to Doris Gyamfi, the mother of 15-year-old Ghanaian boy Javits Frimpong, who was shot to death while walking to school in New York. The announcement was made by New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani after a conversation with Trump.

This arrangement will enable Gyamfi to travel from Ghana to bid farewell to her son. Mamdani expressed the pain of a parent losing a child, emphasizing the importance of allowing Gyamfi to say goodbye in person.

The incident has sparked outrage in Ghana and among the Ghanaian community in the United States. Javits was shot in the abdomen around 9:30 am on Thursday near Crotona Park in the Bronx and was pronounced dead at St Barnabas Hospital.

His father, Thomas Frimpong, revealed that Javits had previously reported being bullied at DreamYard Preparatory School, where two students were recently suspended following an altercation involving him.
