MINNEAPOLIS — The latest in the investigation into the fatal shooting of a black man by Minneapolis police that has sparked more than a week of demonstrations.
The latest reports are that the family of a black man who was fatally shot by Minneapolis police are preparing to lay him to rest.
Funeral services for 24-year-old Jamar Clark were at noon today at Shiloh Temple International Ministries in north Minneapolis. A visitation took place two hours before the funeral at the church. Both were open to the public.
Clark was shot on Nov. 15 during what police said was a struggle. Some who saidthey saw the shooting allege Clark was handcuffed when he was shot, but police have disputed that. Two investigations — one by the state and one by federal authorities — are underway.
