Upstate New York officer won’t face criminal charges after fatally shooting a 13-year-old in June
New York – New York State officer will not face criminal charges in Deadly shooting The state prosecutor Litia James announced on Wednesday that a 13 -year -old boy indicated what was found to be a BB rifle.
It was shot by Mawi and killed After he fled officers asking him and another teenager on a residential street in Uitika on the night of June 28, 2024.
Officer Patrick Hamsana Mawi chased, and he faced him on the ground and made one shot in his chest. He was taken to the hospital where he died.
James, in the launch of a 18 -page review, concluded that the public prosecutors will not be able to prove what is no doubt that the officer’s actions were unjustified.
She said that Husnay and two other officers approached MWY because he coincided with the description of the suspect involved in an armed robbery the night before. Moe fled when the officers tried to get rid of him. Then he withdrew what appeared to be a pistol and directed him to an officer.
“Under New York’s justification, a deadly physical force officer may use when the officer reasonably believes that it is necessary to defend the use of deadly physical force,” James said.
Moay, his family’s name, was a Karen refugee born in Myanmar. He had just graduated from middle school and the high school was scheduled to start in the fall.
His family said, in a statement via e -mail, that she was reviewing the James report, but thanked her office for investigating it.
“Regardless of what the report concludes, we know what we lost. We know what we have seen,” the statement says. “Nah deserves to grow up. We deserve to live in a society where children are protected like him, and not a follower.”
The family and members of the Karen community invited others to hold the police accountable, as Mui was already defeated and on the ground when he was shot.
Videos of the police released by the police in the days after the killing showed a chaotic scene. The officers scream a “gun!” Before someone consumes it and rubs it. Another officer opens the fire while the two wrestle with the ground while passing by the police.
The police also released photos showing that the BB GUN MWAY has significantly referred to the GLOCK 17 Gen 5. They also indicated that he had no orange division to the barrel that added many BB weapons makers in recent years to distinguish their products from real firearms.
In a joint statement on Wednesday, they were “happy” by James office with criminal violations.
They expressed their hope that the city would be able to recover after the tragedy.
“From that night, we sought tirelessly to build relations and confidence with Burmese societies and Karen,” the statement said. “We feel that these links were not stronger than ever than today.”
Husnay and the UTICA Union immediately responded to emails seeking to comment late on Wednesday.
Karens is a ethnic minority that is confused with military rulers in Myanmar, which was previously known as Burma.
The UTICA, which is located about 240 miles northwest of Manhattan, is located for more than 4,200 people from Myanmar. They are among the thousands of refugees from different countries that have settled in the region in recent decades.
