## Summary

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani said President Donald Trump had agreed to grant an immediate visa to the mother of Javits Frimpong, a 15-year-old from Ghana who was shot dead in the Bronx. The visa would allow her to attend her son’s funeral in person.

Frimpong was shot in the abdomen while walking to school shortly before 9.30am on Thursday and died in hospital. No arrests have been made and the shooting remains under investigation; his father said he had recently learned that his son was being bullied. Ghana’s government said it would cover the mother’s travel costs and could help with funeral arrangements.
