24-year-old Ghanaian found dead five days after teenager’s murder

Joseph Owusu, an organist at the Ghana United Methodist Church in the Bronx, was found dead among rubbish by a scrap-metal collector after being missing for about two weeks. His death was reported on Tuesday, November 3, five days after 15-year-old Ghanaian Javits Badu Nkansah Frimpong was shot near Crotona Park while going to school. Police are searching for three suspects and have not established a motive for the teenager’s killing. The circumstances of Owusu’s death remain unclear, while Ghana’s foreign ministry has offered to work with US authorities on the investigation into the teenager’s death.
