Police in the Bronx are actively searching for three masked suspects following the fatal shooting of a 15-year-old boy, Javits Frimpong, on Thursday morning. The incident occurred just before 9:30 a.m. near the intersection of Fulton Avenue and East 171st Street, close to Crotona Park. According to authorities, Frimpong was shot in the stomach while walking to school. He was transported to St. Barnabas Hospital but was later pronounced dead. Investigators believe the shooting involved other young people and note that the suspects fled the scene wearing black sweatsuits and blue surgical masks. The victim’s father told Eyewitness News that he suspects the attack may be related to bullying. In response to the tragedy, local residents have urged parents to monitor their children closely and have called on Mayor Mamdani to expand afterschool programs to keep youth engaged and off the streets. Community members expressed a desire to stop the violence and emphasized the importance of staying in school. Police continue to seek tips from the public to identify and locate the three suspects. Anyone with information regarding the shooting is encouraged to contact the NYPD. This is a developing story as the manhunt remains ongoing.
