Teen with pellet gun fatally shot by police: Body cam footage released as community calls for accountability

UTICA, N.Y. (WSYR) — Police in Utica, New York, have released footage from officers' uniform-worn cameras which appears to show a teenager pointing an object at them seconds before he was tackled to the ground and fatally shot. The boy's family is now demanding justice.

Shortly after 10 p.m. EDT on Friday, police in Utica stopped two 13-year-old boys because they matched the description of a pair of suspects wanted for two recent robberies in the West Utica area, according to a department spokesperson.
