A 15-year-old Ghanaian teenager came to New York hoping to build a future in medicine. Instead, his family is preparing to bury him after a fatal shooting in the Bronx.
Now, an unexpected appeal involving two political adversaries has brought the tragedy into the national spotlight.
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani reportedly contacted President Donald Trump to request assistance securing a visa for the boy’s mother, who lives thousands of miles away in Ghana.
