A tragic incident unfolded in upstate New York, where a 13-year-old boy lost his life after being fatally shot by a police officer during an armed robbery investigation. The shocking event took place in Utica, New York, and has sparked outrage and raised questions about police actions.

The incident occurred around 10 pm on Friday when officers in Utica stopped two 13-year-old youths in connection with an ongoing robbery case.

‘Replica gun’

Authorities later discovered that the weapon Nyah Mway was carrying was a replica of a Glock 17 Gen 5 handgun with a detachable magazine. Despite initial beliefs by the officers that it was a real handgun, it was determined to only fire pellets or BBs. The tragic misunderstanding led to a fatal outcome that has left the community in shock.

During a struggle on the ground, one of the officers fired a single shot that hit Nyah Mway in the chest, resulting in his tragic death. The officers administered immediate first aid to the teen, but he succumbed to his injuries at Wynn Hospital. The replica gun carried by the teen closely resembled a real firearm, causing a grave misunderstanding in the heat of the moment.
