Mayor Mamdani announced that President Trump will grant a visa to Javits Frimpong's mother, allowing her to go to New York for the funeral. The decision follows a call between Mamdani and Trump, who expressed worry over the teen's passing and the potential impact of bullying. Javits Frimpong was fatally shot on his route to school in the Bronx, and his father has suggested that bullying may have been a factor. The rapper Boogie Wit da Hoodie has also paid tribute to the teen.
