The state attorney general is investigating the shooting of Nyah Mway, whom Utica police tackled to the ground and then shot after a foot chase.
Relatives of a 13-year-old boy who was shot and killed by police in central New York were demanding justice as members of their immigrant community from Myanmar aimed Sunday to press local officials for accountability. The state attorney general was investigating the shooting of Nyah Mway, whom Utica police tackled to the ground and then shot after a foot chase Friday.
The officers believed it was a handgun, police said, but it was later determined to be a BB or pellet gun that closely resembled a Glock 17 Gen 5 handgun with a detachable magazine. Police released an image showing the device did not have an orange band on the barrel that many BB gun-makers have added in recent years to distinguish their products from firearms.
