Fourteen-year-old Mya Killeen died after being shot inside an apartment on Ballantyne Road in Syracuse in the winter of 2019. First responders took her to Upstate University Hospital in critical condition; reports list her date of death as either January 22 or January 23, 2019.

A 13-year-old boy was arrested and charged with second-degree manslaughter and second-degree criminal possession of a weapon; his name was withheld because of his age. His lawyer said the shooting was an accident, but the Syracuse Police Department continued to investigate the circumstances.

The community reacted with grief and calls for support for Mya’s family, and local groups used the case to press concerns about youth and gun violence in the city. If anyone knew Mya or was in the Ballantyne Road area that afternoon, does that information shed light on what happened?
