The investigation into a deadly Minneapolis Police shooting from nearly a decade ago may soon be reopened over concerns that some evidence in the case may have been overlooked.
5 INVESTIGATES obtained the letter sent by Hennepin County Attorney Mike Freeman to the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, suggesting state investigators take another look at the fatal shooting of Terrance Franklin in May of 2013.
At the time, MPD investigated its own deadly shootings. The agency cleared the five officers involved in Franklin’s death of any wrongdoing and a grand jury did not bring any charges against Lucas Peterson, the officer who pulled the trigger.
