A 15-year-old boy was fatally shot steps from his home as he walked to school in broad daylight in the Bronx on Thursday, according to cops and sources.
Javits Frimpong was shot in the stomach around 9:25 a.m. at East 171 Street and Third Avenue in Claremont, just down the block from his apartment building, according to police and law enforcement sources.
He was transported to St. Barnabas Hospital in a marked police car and was initially reported in stable condition, according to authorities.
However, Frimpong’s health deteriorated quickly, and he died from his injuries around two hours later, according to police.
Three boys dressed in all black, thought to be between the ages of 16 and 18, were seen fleeing the site following the gunfire, according to police.
They were last seen running south down Fulton Avenue, into Crotona Park.
During the investigation, cops left a Jordan sneaker at the scene.
There have been no arrests, and the motivation for the violence is still being investigated, according to police.
