Utica, NY Shooting

On Friday, June 28, 2024 approximately 10:15 pm Utica, NY police officers stopped two juveniles as they fit the description of robbery suspects. The police ask the juveniles if they could be patted down to see if they are in possession of any weapons. One of the youths, Nyah Mway, 13 runs from the police and pulls out what looks to be a pistol (above). The officers fearing for their safety attempt to subdue Mway and one officer discharges his weapon, striking Mway. Mway succumbed to his injuries at Wynn Hospital.

Upon further investigation the item displayed was in fact a pellet gun. Above are the pictures released by the Utica Police Department. Three officers involved were placed on administrative leave pending the outcome of the investigation.

With the aftermath of George Floyd, no lawman looks forward to this moment. This incident happened in a small city of about 70,000 people. And its national news. Since the names of the officers involved have been released, I’m sure they are running scared.

We’re going to ask the question the media won’t. Where are the parents!? 10pm and the 13 year old kids are running around with replica guns!? I have teenagers. I look for my kids if I don’t know where they are during daylight hours! My kids know not to run from the cops!

And of course the media has to get involved. Of course the local media will get involved, but national media!? This proves that they are looking for another Ferguson or Kenosha!
