We are deeply saddened to report the tragic and untimely death of Brittany Boateng, a 29-year-old Ghanaian lady based in the United States. On February 23, 2024, Brittany lost her life in a heartbreaking incident in Chicago, Illinois.
Reports indicate that Brittany was involved in a heated argument with her boyfriend, who allegedly pushed her into the path of an oncoming vehicle, resulting in her tragic death. The perpetrator has since been arrested by the Chicago Police, and investigations into this devastating incident are currently underway.
The news of Brittany's passing was shared by X by EDHUB, who posted an obituary confirming the details of her death in Chicago and providing information about the funeral arrangements.
This loss adds to the unfortunate stories of other Ghanaians living abroad who have also met tragic ends. Just last month, a 39-year-old Ghanaian father, Adu Boakye, was fatally shot in a random incident while waiting at a bus stop in Toronto, Canada. Adu Boakye, a father of four children, had recently traveled to Canada before this senseless act took his life.
These heartbreaking events serve as sobering reminders of the vulnerability that many members of the Ghanaian diaspora face while living abroad. Our thoughts and condolences go out to the families and loved ones of Brittany Boateng and Adu Boakye during this difficult time.
We hope that justice will be served, and that steps will be taken to prevent such senseless tragedies from occurring in the future.
