A police officers in Utica, New York, shot and killed a 13-year-old on Friday night after they say he fled and pointed a replica handgun at them. The teenage victim, identified as Nyah Mway, was approached by three officers Friday night after he and another 13-year-old matched the descriptions of robbery suspects, according to a release from the Utica Police Department. Officers were patrolling the area to assist with two recent robbery investigations where “the suspects were described as Asian males who brandished a black in color firearm and forcibly demanded and stole property from victims,” the release reads. “Based on the listed identifying factors from the robbery, officers approached Nyah Mway and the other juvenile as they matched the robbery suspects’ descriptions and were in the immediate vicinity of the previous robbery at nearly the same time of day,” it continues. Police also say Nyah Mway was violating New York vehicle and traffic law by walking in the roadway. According to Utica Police and bodycam footage released, when “the officers attempted to conduct a citizen stop of the two 13-year-old juveniles” and tried to pat-frisk Nyah Mway, “he immediately fled on foot.”
