MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The latest in the investigation into the fatal shooting of a black man by Minneapolis police that has sparked days of demonstrations (all times local):
1 a.m.
U.S. Justice Department attorneys are expected to fly to Minnesota to investigate the killing of a black man a week ago that prompted protests and calls for the two Minneapolis police officers involved in the shooting to be prosecuted.
A key issue during their visit will be whether authorities should release to the public videos of the fatal shooting of 24-year-old Jamar Clark.
Federal and state authorities are resisting releasing the footage, which is from an ambulance, mobile police camera, public housing cameras and people’s cellphones, because they say it doesn’t show the full incident and making the recordings public would compromise their investigations.
Minnesota Gov. Mark Dayton says that he asked Clark’s family and representatives of the Black Lives Matter group protesting his death to meet with the federal government lawyers, who he says are flying to Minnesota on Sunday.
