He moved to the Claremont section of the Bronx to live with his father, Thomas Frimpong, who has lived in the U.S. for two decades.Javits enrolled as a 10th-grader at Dreamyard Preparatory School, where he excelled in science and dreamed of becoming a doctor.On Oct. 26, 2026, his father was contacted by the principal about a school dispute. The principal informed him that two students had been suspended for bullying and harassing Javits. When questioned by his father, Javits stated that he was okay.Then, on Oct. 29, Javits was chased and shot in the stomach while he was walking to school near East 171st Street and Crotona Place, according to authorities.Surveillance footage captured him attempting to flee from masked individuals dressed in black.Responding officers rushed him to St. Barnabas Hospital, where he was pronounced dead later that day.Zohran Mamdani has coordinated with federal officials to secure an immediate emergency visa for Javits’s mother. This will allow her to travel from Ghana to New York to attend her son's funeral.Following Mamdani's latest social media statement, the Foreign Minister of Ghana, Sam Okudzeto Ablakwa, expressed his appreciation for the NYC mayor’s assistance in resolving the matter.“The Government of Ghana welcomes your intervention and President Trump’s timely decision. We have always known we can count on our own Kwame Mamdani. I spoke with the mother of Javits Frimpong yesterday and assigned officials of Ghana’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs to assist her with the visa application process.”He concluded his post:“We resolve to continue to work together in securing justice for Javits.”
