Mayor Says Trump Agreed to Visa for Slain Ghanaian Teen's Mother

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani said President Donald Trump agreed to expedite a visa for the mother of Javits Frimpong, a 15-year-old from Ghana who was fatally shot while walking to school in the Bronx, so she can mourn him in person. The White House had not independently confirmed the visa arrangement in one report. Police have made no arrests and continue to investigate the killing; reports describe surveillance footage of people fleeing the scene. Frimpong’s father has alleged his son faced bullying at school, but police have not established a connection between those allegations and the shooting. The death has prompted mourning in the Bronx and concern from Ghanaian officials, while city education officials offered support to the school community.
