Nyah Mway (age 13, 2010- June 28, 2024) native of New York, was living a typical teenage life with his parents and friends until a tragic incident on June 28, 2024, changed everything.
On that evening, Nyah was shot and killed by police officers in Utica, New York.
The incident happened around 10:20 p.m. when Utica police stopped Nyah and his friend on Shaw Street. He ran from the police and displayed what appeared to be a handgun during the chase, leading an officer to fire a shot.
He was rushed to a local hospital but was pronounced dead upon arrival and the other 13-year-old was not injured. At the scene, officers found that Nyah was carrying a BB gun.
New York police release footage of Nyah Mway shooting
Authorities released body camera footage on Sunday showing a police officer fatally shooting Nyah Mway. The officer thought Nyah was aiming a gun, which turned out to be a BB gun.
The incident involved three Utica police officers: Patrick Husnay, who has been with the department for six years and fired the shot; Bryce Patterson, a four-year veteran; and Andrew Citriniti, who has been on the force for two-and-a-half years.
The video shows the officers approaching Nyah and another juvenile on a bicycle. Patterson told the teens they were being stopped because one was riding the bike on the road while Nyah was walking nearby.
The officers asked to pat Nyah down for weapons. At first, Nyah raised his hands but then ran away. Patterson and Husnay chased him, with Patterson tackling Nyah to the ground. The officers yelled that Nyah had a gun, and Husnay shot him while he was on the ground.
All three officers have been placed on paid leave while the incident is investigated.
