Members of the Minneapolis community will gather Thursday to honor the life of Amir Locke, a 22-year-old Black man whose killing at the hands of police during the execution of a no-knock warrant has reignited debate around the controversial practice.
"All I have is the memories ... and pictures," Locke's mother Karen Wells said last week. "I should not have to bury a 22-year-old child."
