Albany Teen Charged After Weapon Incident | Albany News

A 22-year-old Albany man, Nasir Smith, is facing serious charges after allegedly pulling a gun on two women during an argument late Thursday night. Police responded to a weapon call near Elm Street and Delaware Avenue, apprehending Smith on the scene. Detectives later found a loaded firearm at his residence. He’s charged with two counts of Second-Degree Menacing, Criminal Possession of a Firearm, and Endangering the Welfare of a Child — a particularly heavy charge when involving youth. Smith appeared in court Friday morning and was denied bail, now held at Albany County Jail as the legal process moves forward. This case underscores how quickly violence can escalate — especially with guns involved — and serves as a sobering reminder of the consequences when safety is compromised.
