Hennepin County Attorney Mike Freeman has suggested that in light of evidence not previously taken into consideration, the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension should review the 2013 killing of Terrance Franklin by Minneapolis police.
Franklin's family has long maintained that the 22-year-old surrendered to police when they found him hiding in a Minneapolis basement, but police said he fought violently and used one of the officers' weapons to shoot and injure two of them before they returned lethal fire.
A grand jury concluded at the time that there was insufficient evidence to bring charges against the officers. An internal investigation by Minneapolis police also cleared them of wrongdoing.
