Highlights
- Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey announced on Friday a moratorium on no-knock warrants after police fatally shot a 22-year-old Black man during a raid on an apartment.
- Video shows the man, Amir Locke, holding a gun as he twisted around beneath a blanket after being roused by officers who entered the apartment on Wednesday to carry out a search warrant.
- Locke was not named in the search warrant, which was issued in relation to a homicide investigation that is being run by the neighboring Saint Paul Police Department.
- The incident is the latest to put the Minneapolis police department under scrutiny after George Floyd, an unarmed Black man, was killed by a white officer who knelt on his neck for nine minutes during an arrest.
