Police fatally shot a 13-year-old after a chase in upstate New York after the teen displayed what appeared to be a handgun, the Utica Police Department said in a statement.
Officers stopped two teenagers on Friday around 10 p.m. local time in Utica, a city of 64,000 people in upstate New York located about an hour’s drive from Syracuse, police said. While the authorities were questioning the teens, one of them fled, the statement said.
As he ran, police spotted what “appeared to be a handgun” pointed at the officers. One of the officers fired his gun and hit the teen, described as an Asian male. He was brought to Wynn Hospital where he died from his wounds. Authorities have not yet released the names of the deceased 13-year-old or the officer who shot him until the next of kin is notified.
Officers said they found a replica Glock handgun with a detachable magazine following the shooting.
A social media video related to the incident has been circulating on the internet. Regarding the video, police said “We are aware of a video of the incident circulating on social media platforms, which does not portray the incident in its entirety.”
Police said they are conducting an investigation following the shooting and said they will release items related to the shooting over the next several days, including a critical incident brief and the bodycam.

In an Instagram post, Hiltz, who uses they/them pronouns, called the moment “a childhood dream of mine” that came true. They went on to thank supporters, saying, “All I know is today I’m waking up just so grateful for my people, overwhelmed by all the love and support, and filled with joy that I get to race people I deeply love and respect around a track for a living.”
This will be the 29-year-old’s first trip to the Olympics. They won a silver medal at the Indoor World Championships earlier this year.

Sunday’s race was on the last day of Pride Month, adding significance to the monumental moment for Hiltz. In a post-race interview with NBC Sports, Hiltz said the accomplishment is “bigger than just me.”
“I wanted to run this for my community,” Hiltz continued, “All of the LGBT folks, yeah, you guys brought me home that last hundred. I could just feel the love and support.”
The 2024 Olympic Games will begin on July 26, 2024, in Paris, France.
