Minneapolis city council to review no-knock warrants after Amir Locke shooting

Minneapolis city council will target no-knock warrants in a public hearing following the fatal Amir Locke shooting.

A Minneapolis city council committee will hold a hearing on no-knock warrants Monday afternoon following the death of Amir Locke, who was fatally shot in an apartment by Minneapolis police officers on Wednesday during the execution of a no-knock warrant.

Activists and Locke family attorneys will likely be in attendance to discuss banning these type of warrants.

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey issued a moratorium on no-knock warrants late Friday in response to the fatal incident.

"No matter what information comes to light, it won't change the fact that Amir Locke's life was cut short," Frey said in a statement. "To ensure safety of both the public and officers until a new policy is crafted, I'm issuing a moratorium on both the request and execution of such warrants in Minneapolis."
