Dolal Idd, 23, was killed in a shootout with police.
Protesters took to the streets on Thursday after police shot dead 23-year-old Dolal Idd in the same neighborhood where George Floyd died in May.
“We’re angry right now, we’re frustrated right now, because we said ‘No’ after George Floyd was killed, but it wasn’t long before another body fell,” protester Jaylani Hussein told the affiliate of Minneapolis ABC KSTP Thursday night.
Idd’s death is the first in the hands of Minneapolis police since Floyd died on May 25, sparking protests across the country over police reform and racial equality.
Idd died Wednesday night in a shooting with Minneapolis Police Department officers during a traffic stop. Police say Idd was suspected of a crime.
The body camera video released within 24 hours showed police repeatedly ordering Idd to “stop the car.” Police squad vehicles crashed into Idd’s white car before the driver’s window shattered and police fired at the car, the video shows.
“When I saw the video that everyone is watching … it looks like the individual inside the vehicle first fired the gun at the vehicle,” MPD chief Medaria Arradondo said Thursday. He also said witnesses confirmed the suspect shot first.
Arradondo said MPD agents had been conducting an investigation into “probable cause” weapons, which caused traffic to stop at a gas station. Arradondo said he did not know if there was an order for Idd’s arrest.
Idd was pronounced dead at the scene. The woman with whom he was in the car and local officers were not injured.
A weapon was recovered at the scene, officials said.
Protesters are demanding more details and more video beyond the 28 seconds of filming that were posted. Others wonder if the police could have done more to slow the situation.
The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehreh leads the investigation into the incident. Arradondo said he expects more video of the shoot to be released during the course of the probe.
Arradondo said he met with members of Idd’s family and allowed them to see the images from the body camera before they were made public.
The names of the officers involved in the incident have not yet been released.
When asked if officers had the justification to shoot at the vehicle, Arradondo said his officers are “trained to respond” when they are “experiencing gunfire.”
Arradondo also said he wants to protect everyone’s right to demonstrate peacefully, but says the city “cannot allow destructive criminal behavior.”
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey on Thursday acknowledged the “raw emotion” Minneapolis is experiencing and said “the details of what happened last night do not negate the tragedy of last night’s death.”
