Mother of Ghanaian boy killed in US 'wants justice' as she flies for funeral
Javits Frimpong was chased down and fatally shot last week on his way to school
The mother of a 15-year-old Ghanaian boy who was fatally shot in the United States last week has left Ghana for America after being granted an emergency visa by President Donald Trump.
"I want justice for my son," Doris Adu Gyamfi told the BBC at the airport before her departure.
She said he had dreamt of becoming a medical doctor.
Her son, Javits Frimpong, who had only been in the US for a year, was chased down and shot on Thursday morning on his way to school in the Bronx, New York.
He was taken to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
Police have not made any arrests and an investigation is ongoing as authorities search for three teenage boys in connection with the shooting.
His death has sparked outrage in both Ghana and the US, and reignited the debate about gun violence in America.
