Prosecutor to announce decision on charges in Minneapolis police shooting of Jamar Clark
By Mark Berman March 30 at 10:25 AM
Authorities in Minnesota will announce Wednesday morning whether the Minneapolis police officers who fatally shot Jamar Clark will face any charges, the prosecutor’s office said.
Mike Freeman, the Hennepin County attorney, will announce the decision in a news conference at his office.
Clark, a 24-year-old African American, was unarmed when he was shot and killed in November. Police have said that Clark was the suspect in an assault when he encountered two police officers on Nov. 15, and authorities said he was interfering with paramedics trying to treat that victim when he encountered police.
Earlier this month, Freeman announced that he would not use a grand jury to determine whether any of the police officers should be indicted, saying that his office would make the decision.
