A 17-year-old has been arrested in connection to the search warrant that led to the death of 22-year-old Amir Locke.
A 17-year-old has been arrested in connection to the search warrant that led to the death of Amir Locke, a 22-year-old who was shot and killed by Minneapolis police officers executing a "no-knock" search warrant.
Locke, who was fatally shot last Wednesday, was not named in the "no-knock" warrant, according to civil rights attorney Ben Crump. The warrant was executed on behalf of Saint Paul Police, who were searching for a homicide suspect.
Body camera video showed officers executing the "no-knock" search warrant and finding Locke, who had been sleeping under a blanket on the couch and holding a gun.
Locke is seen holding a gun as he sits up and was shot less than 10 seconds after officers entered the room, still covered in the blanket.
