Prosecutors say there is insufficient evidence for criminal charges in fatal shooting of Amir Locke.
No criminal charges will be brought against a Minneapolis police officer who shot dead a 22-year-old man in an apartment during a "no-knock" raid.Prosecutors said there was insufficient evidence to charge officer Mark Hanneman, who fired the fatal shot.
Mr Locke was sleeping in a couch in his cousin's apartment when a nine-member Swat team entered the home. On Wednesday, County Attorney Michael Freeman and Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison said in a statement that there was "insufficient admissible evidence to file criminal charges in this case".
The statement also said that Mr Locke, an aspiring musician, was a victim and that his life mattered. "He should be alive today, and his death is a tragedy".
