1. Fatal shooting of 13-year-old by NY officer
2. Police shoot teen with replica gun on ground in NY.
Accident – Death – Obituary News : In a tragic incident that has shaken the community of Utica, New York, a 13-year-old boy named Nyah Mway was fatally shot by a police officer after a pursuit late Friday night. The incident, captured on video and released to the public, shows the young boy being tackled to the ground by an officer after he ran from the police and pointed what appeared to be a handgun at them.
The police had initially stopped Nyah Mway and another youth for an unspecified “police investigation” when the fatal events unfolded. According to Utica Police Chief Mark Williams, the replica handgun pointed by the teen was later identified as a Glock 17 Gen 5 replica with a detachable magazine. In the ensuing struggle on the ground, a single shot was fired by one of the officers, striking the boy in the chest.
Despite the immediate first aid provided by the officers and transportation to Wynn Hospital, Nyah Mway tragically succumbed to his injuries. Lt. Michael Curley, a police spokesperson, confirmed that the replica gun carried by the teen closely resembled a real firearm, with GLOCK markings, detachable magazine, and serial numbers, but only fired pellets or BB’s.
The release of the bystander video on Facebook depicting the chase, tackle, and subsequent shooting of Nyah Mway has sparked outrage in the community and beyond. The officers involved in the incident have been placed on administrative leave with pay pending further investigation.
Nyah Mway, a refugee from Myanmar and a member of the Karen ethnic minority, was described as an 8th grader at Donovan Middle School. The Karen ethnic group has been embroiled in conflict with the military rulers of Myanmar, following the ousting of the elected government in 2021.
As the community grapples with the aftermath of this tragic event, the state attorney general will lead the investigation to determine the circumstances surrounding the shooting and whether it was justified. The Utica Police Department is also conducting an internal investigation to ensure that officers followed proper procedures and training.
During a tense news conference, Chief Williams expressed his condolences to the family of Nyah Mway, acknowledging the traumatic nature of the incident for all involved. The city of Utica, located northwest of Manhattan, has been deeply affected by the shooting, with calls for justice and accountability echoing throughout the community.
The release of the body camera video, coupled with the public outcry and demands for transparency, underscores the need for a thorough and impartial investigation into the tragic death of Nyah Mway. As the community mourns the loss of a young life, questions remain about the events leading up to the fatal shooting and the actions of the officers involved..
