The family of a 13-year-old boy who was shot and killed by police in central New York on Friday is demanding justice and accountability.
New York Attorney General Letitia James' office is investigating the shooting of Nyah Mway, who was born in Myanmar and is a member of its Karen ethnic minority. Utica police said officers tackled the teenager to the ground and then shot him after a foot chase on Friday.
Police, who are conducting their own probe, released body camera video that showed a youth appearing to aim an object at them before they took him to the ground. The object was a BB gun that looked like an actual firearm, police said.
