Published 2 years ago
Body camera footage released by the Minneapolis Police Department, shows SWAT officers performing a search warrant for a potential murder suspect, which ultimately resulted in an officer involved shooting.
On February 2nd, 2022 at approximately 6:48am, the Minneapolis Police SWAT team, in Minneapolis Police Department uniforms, marked external ballistic vests, and tactical gear executed a warrant for the Saint Paul Police Department Homicide unit on the 1100 block of Marquette Avenue South.
Officers gained entry to the target apartment on the seventh floor, loudly and repeatedly announced their presence, crossed the threshold of the apartment and advanced with continued loud announcements of their presence.
Approximately nine seconds into the entry, officers encountered a male who was armed with a handgun pointed in the direction of the officers. An officer fired his duty weapon and the adult male suspect was struck. Officers immediately provided emergency aid and carried the suspect down to the lobby to meet paramedics.
The suspect was transported to Hennepin County Medical Center where he died. He was later identified as 22-year-old Amir Rahkare Locke.
The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA) responded and is conducting an independent investigation.
