Accident – Death – Obituary News :
A harrowing video released over the weekend has shed light on a fatal shooting incident in Utica, upstate New York, where a 13-year-old boy lost his life at the hands of law enforcement. The incident occurred late on Friday night, prompting outrage and calls for justice in the community.
Details of the Incident
According to police reports, officers in Utica stopped two youths, both 13 years old, in connection with an armed robbery investigation. The youths matched the descriptions of the suspects and were approached by officers for questioning. One of the youths, identified as Nyah Mway, attempted to flee from the officers, leading to a confrontation that ended in tragedy.
Body camera footage released by the police shows Nyah Mway brandishing what appeared to be a handgun at the pursuing officers. In the chaos that ensued, one of the officers, identified as Patrick Husnay, fired a single shot that struck the boy in the chest. Despite immediate first aid efforts, Nyah Mway succumbed to his injuries at a local hospital.
Revealing the Truth
The weapon wielded by Nyah Mway was later determined to be a replica of a Glock 17 Gen 5 handgun, designed to fire only pellets or BB’s. This revelation raised questions about the officers’ response to the perceived threat and the use of deadly force in such situations.
Community members, including Nyah Mway’s family, expressed shock and grief over the tragic incident. The city of Utica, known for its diverse population including refugees from Myanmar, was left reeling from the fallout of the shooting.
Calls for Accountability
In the wake of the shooting, the Utica Police Department has initiated an internal investigation to determine whether the officers followed protocols and training in handling the situation. Additionally, the state attorney general’s office will conduct its own inquiry to ascertain the justification for the use of lethal force.
Police Chief Mark Williams expressed his condolences to the family of Nyah Mway, acknowledging the tragic nature of the incident. The community awaits further developments in the case as they seek justice and accountability for the loss of a young life.
