On July 1, 2024, a 13-year-old boy wearing dark clothes was stopped by police in the US; he initially raised his hands but then fled when officers attempted to search him. As he ran, he pulled out what appeared to be a gun-shaped object, prompting one officer to tackle him to the ground while another officer shot him in the chest. This incident in Utica, New York resulted in the death of the 13-year-old Asian victim, sparking outrage within the Burmese community. The police mistook the replica gun for a real weapon, and the victim's family is demanding justice for the officer's actions.
