## Key points

- Police say school records were initially withheld without a subpoena.
- Frimpong, 15, was shot in the Bronx and died in hospital.
- Investigators are examining his father’s claims of bullying.

## Summary

NYPD detectives say New York City’s education department initially refused to share information about the killing of 15-year-old Javits Frimpong without a subpoena, potentially slowing their inquiry. The dispute has drawn scrutiny because Frimpong’s father says his son had been bullied at school, and police are investigating whether bullying played a part in his death.

Frimpong was shot in the abdomen at about 9.25am last week in the Bronx while fleeing masked attackers on his way to school; he later died in hospital, and no suspects have been arrested. His father said the school had reported two students for disturbing him three days before the shooting, leading to suspensions. The education department later said it was fully cooperating and had provided all requested material, but neither agency confirmed whether police obtained a subpoena.
