A 17-year-old suspect has been arrested for the murder of 15-year-old Javits Frimpong, a Ghanaian immigrant who was shot on his way to school in New York City on Oct. 29. The suspect faces charges including murder and criminal possession of a weapon. The motive for the shooting remains unclear, with police investigating possible links to bullying and robbery. Javits' family, including his father Thomas Frimpong, has expressed grief and called for justice. President Donald Trump has agreed to grant Javits' mother, Doris Adu Gyamfi, an emergency visa to travel to the U.S. for her son's funeral, scheduled for Nov. 20.
