Al Sharpton and Ghana's foreign minister. The family spoke hours after the NYPD announced that detectives had arrested a 17-year-old male and charged him with murder in the teen's death. Police have not released the suspect's name. Frimpong was shot on October 29 shortly before 9:30 a.m. near East 171st Street and Third Avenue in the Bronx while walking to school, according to News 12. Police said they are still looking for others who may be connected to the shooting.
