The shooting death of Amir Locke, a Black man in Minneapolis, is again raising questions of police tactics and the use of no knock warrants.
, a 22-year-old Black man in Minneapolis, is again raising questions of police tactics and the use of"no knock" warrants.
Locke's aunt and uncle, who live in Chicago's west suburbs, shared how they're coping with his loss as they prepare for more difficult days ahead. "I have to support my sister, our family is in deep grief," Linda Tyler said."It's one thing to grieve in private, but this national stage is overwhelming."Linda Tyler was there when Locke was born and recalls many happy visits with her nephew in the Chicago area over the years. Now, she is writing his obituary.
Last Wednesday, his family says Locke was asleep on a couch with a legally bought and registered gun when a Minneapolis Police SWAT team executed a"no-knock" warrant. Video from the perspective of a police officer-worn camera shows the moments leading up to Locke's fatal shooting.
