Utica Residents Grill Mayor After Police Killing of 13-Year-Old Boywww.nytimes.com An officer in Utica, N.Y., fatally shot the boy, Nyah Mway, after he brandished what the officer believed was a gun. At a community meeting, residents called the killing “an injustice.”

Let's call it what it is: murder. An execution is a legal act. That's the origin of the term: to execute the duly-passed sentence, to execute the law. It's a formal-sounding euphemism for the fact that we're killing someone, but at least it's legal. This is murder. It's completely extralegal.
