Accident – Death – Obituary News :
In a heartbreaking turn of events, a 13-year-old boy was fatally shot by a police officer in upstate New York. The incident, which occurred in Utica, has left the community in shock and mourning.
The tragic event unfolded late on a Friday night when officers in Utica stopped two youths in connection with an armed robbery investigation. The youths, both 13 years old, matched the descriptions of the robbery suspects and were in the same area at the time of the incident.
Body camera footage released by the police shows the moment when one of the youths, identified as Nyah Mway, ran away from the officers. In a tense moment captured on video, Nyah Mway pointed a replica handgun at the pursuing officers, leading to a fatal shot being fired.
