## Summary

Police have arrested a 17-year-old boy in connection with the killing of Javits Frimpong, a 15-year-old shot while walking to school in the Bronx. Charges are pending, and the arrest matters as investigators pursue the circumstances behind the fatal attack.

Frimpong, a Ghanaian immigrant, was shot in the stomach near East 171st Street and Third Avenue on 29 October and later died. His father said his son had been bullied and that the school had reported two boys were suspended after fighting with him; police say bullying is one line of inquiry, and have said they found no indication Frimpong was involved in gang activity. His mother was granted a visa to travel from Ghana to New York to mourn him.
