Minnesota Police Release Footage Of Man Killed During No-Knock Warrant
Newsy
A SWAT team carrying out a no-knock warrant shot and killed Amir Locke, who was armed but was not the subject of the warrant.
Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison will join the review of the fatal shooting of a Black man by Minneapolis police, authorities said Friday, shortly after police released body camera footage that showed SWAT team officers entering an apartment and shooting the 22-year-old man, who was wrapped in a blanket and had a gun in his hand.
Amir Locke was killed in the shooting just before 7 a.m. on Wednesday. Police said Locke pointed a loaded gun “in the direction of officers.” An incident report said he had two wounds in the chest and one in the right wrist.
Activists swiftly denounced the killing, noting that Locke wasn't named in a search warrant.
