BREAKING: The Hennepin County Attorney’s Office will not pursue charges against the officers involved in the February shooting of Amir Locke
The Hennepin County Attorney’s Office will not pursue charges against the officers involved in the February shooting of Amir Rahkare Locke, a 22-year-old Black man who was fatally shot within seconds of Minneapolis police entering an apartment with a no-knock warrant for a case that had nothing to do with him.
“Amir Locke’s life mattered,” Hennepin County Attorney Michael Freeman and Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison said in a Wednesday statement. “After a thorough review of all available evidence, however, there is insufficient admissible evidence to file criminal charges in this case. Specifically, the State would be unable to disprove beyond a reasonable doubt any of the elements of Minnesota’s use-of-deadly-force statute that authorizes the use of force by Officer Hanneman.
“Nor would the State be able to prove beyond a reasonable doubt a criminal charge against any other officer involved in the decision-making that led to the death of Amir Locke,” the statement added.
