Warrant: Minneapolis police shot Dolal Idd after attempted gun sting
The warrant to search his home sought guns and record keeping materials.
Minneapolis police were attempting a gun sting when they exchanged gunfire with Dolal Idd last week outside a South Side gas station last week, killing him, according to new court documents.
The shooting occurred Wednesday night, when police said Idd showed up to a gun deal at a Holiday gas station at 36th Street and Cedar Avenue and when officers moved in to arrest him, a "gunfight ensued," a state investigator wrote in a sworn affidavit accompanying a search warrant.
The warrant, filed Monday in Hennepin County District court, sheds new light on the circumstances leading up to the fatal encounter. It also explains what led authorities to an early morning search of an Eden Prairie home where Idd lived with his parents and siblings, leading to criticism of how the family was treated and the subsequent release of body camera video of the raid. The warrant says that authorities suspected they might find guns, bookkeeping materials, videos and photos related to Idd's alleged gun possession, but nothing was recovered.
