NEW YORK - Javits Frimpong, a 15-year-old boy from Ghana, was chased down and fatally shot on Thursday morning while on his way to school in the Bronx, according to The Guardian's report on the killing, written by Uwa Ede-Osifo.

The Guardian reported that the New York City Police Department (NYPD) received a report on Thursday morning about a shooting near Corona Park in the Bronx, and that a police spokesperson said so on Friday.

The Guardian also reported that Frimpong's father says his son was being bullied at school before he was shot and killed. That account comes from the father, as The Guardian relayed it, and the outlet's summary does not describe any separate confirmation of the bullying.

The Guardian's summary does not say whether any arrest has been made, what the police believe the motive to be, or whether school officials have responded to the bullying claim. Those questions are not answered in the material available for this story.

The Guardian's summary states that the incident was reported to police on Thursday morning, and the police spokesperson's remarks came on Friday. The account in this story rests on a single outlet's summary of its reporting, and no other source for these details has been reviewed. The full text of The Guardian's report may contain additional information that is not reflected here.
