Youth violence

A teenager caught on camera firing a gun multiple times in broad daylight has finally been caught.

Increasingly, crimes are being committed in Utica and around the country involving young kids with guns, and police are struggling to get the trend under control.

Over the Labor Day weekend the Utica Police were dealing with a number of investigations, including several incidents involving young teens.

A crowd of people gathered outside Utica City Hall on Monday to demand justice for Nyah Mway, the juvenile that was killed in an officer-involved shooting over the weekend.

A Utica teen has been arrested following a shooting incident that happened Tuesday on the city's west side. The suspect is only 19-years-old.

Senator Joe Griffo and community leader Courtney Muhammad appeared on WIBX's Keeler Show on Thursday to discuss ways to fix the problem of youth violence in Utica's inner-city. Over the last year, violence and especially gun violence and crime have riddled Utica's inner-city streets, including a shooting that occurred following a football game at Proctor High School in the fall.
