Kin, community demand accountability for fatal NY police shooting of 13-year-old boy

Relatives of a 13-year-old boy who was shot and killed by police in central New York are demanding justice. Members of their immigrant community from Myanmar aimed Sunday to press local officials for accountability. The state attorney general is investigating the shooting of Nyah Mway. Utica police tackled him to the ground and then shot him after a foot chase Friday. Police have released body camera video that showed a youth appearing to aim an object at them before they took him to the ground. Police say it was a BB gun that looked like an actual firearm. Police say Nyah Mway and another 13-year-old boy were stopped because they fit descriptions of suspects in an armed robbery Thursday. At a vigil Saturday, attendees questioned officials’ account of the shooting.
