Trump to Facilitate US Visa for Mother of Ghanaian Teenager Shot Dead in New York

Donald Trump told New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani that he would facilitate an immediate visa for Doris Gyamfi, mother of 15-year-old Javits Frimpong, who was shot dead in the Bronx while walking to school. The White House had not independently confirmed the arrangement by Saturday evening, and it remained unclear whether a visa had been issued. Frimpong moved from Ghana in October 2025, hoped to become a doctor, and had reportedly complained of bullying at school; investigators have established no connection between those complaints and his killing. Ghana’s Foreign Affairs Minister Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa pledged consular and legal assistance, help with travel and funeral costs, and called for those responsible to be brought to justice.
