Ghana’s UN Mission visits family of Ghanaian killed in second Bronx tragedy, pledges support
Ghana's Permanent Mission to the United Nations in New York has visited the family of 24-year-old Ghanaian caregiver Joseph Owusu, who was reportedly killed in the Bronx. Joseph Owusu's death comes days after the fatal shooting of 15-year-old Ghanaian Javits Frimpong in the Bronx on October 29, 2026. The two deaths have raised concern among Ghanaians in New York and relatives in Ghana, with calls for investigations and accountability. The visit, led by Deputy Permanent Representative Ben Dotsel Malor and Consul-General Anthony El-Adas, was undertaken on behalf of Foreign Affairs Minister Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, who joined by phone to express his condolences.
