Ben Crump<\/strong><\/p>\n Javits Frimpong<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Ben Crump<\/a>\u00a0has joined the fight for answers following the killing of Javits Frimpong, a 15-year-old Ghanaian student whose life was cut short before he could fulfill his dream of becoming a doctor.<\/p>\n On Friday (Nov. 6), the civil rights attorney announced that he had been retained by the teenager’s family as authorities continued investigating last month’s shooting in the Bronx’s Claremont neighborhood.<\/p>\n \u201cJavits was a 15-year-old boy walking to school, something children across this country do every morning,\u201d he said in a\u00a0statement<\/a>. \u201cHe came here from Ghana a year ago dreaming of becoming a doctor, and he deserved to make that walk safely, like every child does, no matter where they come from. We will stand with Javits\u2019 family every step of the way until the people responsible are held accountable and his family has the answers they deserve.\u201d<\/p>\n On Oct. 29, the teen was\u00a0reportedly<\/a>\u00a0shot in the stomach around 9:30 a.m. near Crotona Park, just blocks from his school. He managed to run before collapsing and was later pronounced dead at St. Barnabas Hospital.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/flsentinel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/Screen-Shot-2026-11-12-at-7.16.39-PM-640x629.png\")
