Investigators Seeking Witnesses in Police Shooting of Jamar Clark

Investigators are putting out one last call for witnesses to come forward with any evidence in the fatal officer-involved shooting of Jamar Clark in Minneapolis. 

The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension and Hennepin County Attorney Mike Freeman said Thursday that if anyone was a witness, or has additional video regarding Clark’s death, to contact the BCA. 

Clark was shot in the head on November 15 by Minneapolis police. He died the next day after being taken off of life support. 

Police say Clark was a suspect in a domestic assault and was shot after allegedly interfering with paramedics who were trying to provide first aid to the victim. 

Some who claim they saw the shooting have said that Clark was not struggling and was handcuffed.  

His death prompted numerous protests, including an 18-day occupation outside of a police precinct in Minneapolis. 

Hennepin County Attorney Mike Freeman says he hopes to have a decision by the end of March on whether charges will be filed against the officers involved.
