Teen Taken Into Custody in Bronx Schoolboy’s Killing

A 17-year-old was taken into custody on November 11 in connection with the killing of Javits Frimpong, a 15-year-old who was fatally shot in the Bronx while walking to school. The shooting happened just blocks from Frimpong’s home.

Detectives picked up the teenager for questioning on Wednesday morning and brought him to the 42nd Precinct. No charges had been filed by that point, and investigators had not determined what role he may have had in the shooting.

Police were also seeking other teenagers in connection with the case. Earlier, investigators had been looking for three teens seen running from the scene. An attorney for Frimpong’s family was expected to hold a news conference in Harlem later that day.
