A 17-year-old has been arrested in connection with the October 29 fatal shooting of 15-year-old Ghanaian immigrant Javits Frimpong in the Bronx, New York.
The suspect is being questioned, with charges pending, according to police sources.
Frimpong was shot in the abdomen while walking to DreamYard Preparatory School near East 171st Street.

He had moved from Ghana to live with his father about a year earlier. NYPD investigators are examining possible bullying as a motive after two students were reportedly suspended following fights involving the teenager.
New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani said President Donald Trump granted an emergency travel visa to Frimpong's mother in Ghana. His family welcomed the arrest but said it offered little relief as the community continues demanding justice.
