The shooting brings further scrutiny to the use of no-knock warrants and shines a spotlight on a police department that has faced criticism before
In the early morning hours Wednesday, Minneapolis police officers gently placed a key in a city apartment door before bursting through the doorway yelling"Police! Search warrant!," according to body camera footage released by city officials Thursday night.
In the seconds that followed, a Black man named Amir Locke -- apparently asleep and shown to be holding a gun upon awakening -- was shot and killed. Police say he was not named in any search warrants before the entry, and attorneys for the man's family say he was in legal possession of his firearm. Police said the warrant was connected to a homicide investigation.
