New video released by the Minneapolis Police Department showed that a 23-year-old man fired first before he was shot and killed by police officers during an attempted traffic stop Wednesday evening.
The footage from the cameras worn by officers appears to confirm the account of the encounter given by authorities amid forceful but peaceful demonstrations and calls for more transparency in the death of Dolal Idd.
Police Chief Medaria Arradondo released the footage at a news conference Thursday in what he called a demonstration of the department s commitment to transparency. But, he said, while the case is being investigated, the body camera footage showed that officers only fired after being fired upon.
Minneapolis police spokesperson John Elder said the 27-second video, as well as the slower version, is the only footage the department will be releasing at this time, citing the ongoing investigation. The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension is retaining other videos from the Dec. 30 incident, he said.
