Javits Frimpong was 15, a DreamYard Preparatory School student who moved from Ghana to live with his father in the Bronx. His family said he hoped to become a doctor.
He was shot while walking to school on October 29, 2026. Police announced a 17-year-old’s arrest on November 11. Charges are allegations, and the accused is presumed innocent.
His family wants answers about his death and earlier bullying concerns. A motive has not been established, and original court records still need to be authenticated.
Still coming: Javits’s reporting for Between the Margins, Smoke & Mirrors, Under the Magnifying Glass, and Down the Rabbit Hole.
This part of his case will be updated as verified reporting and records become available.
