Lydjay Acopio's 3-year-old girl, Myca, was slain after being caught in an exchange of gunfire between her father and police when officers burst into the family’s Manila home.⠀

More than six weeks later, Myca remains the youngest known victim among thousands killed in Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte’s war on drugs, where civilian deaths have become an almost nightly routine.⠀

"Can you imagine, my daughter was just 3 years old?" said Acopio, whose husband was also killed in the raid. "She had more gunshot wounds than the years she had lived in this world."⠀

The police, which did not respond to request for comment, told local media that the child had been shot when her father used her as a shield against undercover officers seeking to arrest him for alleged links to the drugs trade. Acopio said her husband didn't use or deal drugs, but about two years ago he provided security for someone she suspects was involved in drugs, which she believes may have made him a target for authorities. ⠀

The government says more than 5,500 “drug personalities” have been killed during drug operations, almost all after allegedly opening fire on officers trying to arrest them. ⠀
