Dolal Idd, 23, was shot dead by Minneapolis police on Wednesday as they attempted to arrest him
Search warrant documents released Monday revealed cops suspected Idd was illegally selling firearms
They were being helped by a confidential informant to buy a MAC-10 high capacity pistol from Idd before the shootout in which he was killed began
The confrontation happened about 6.15pm Wednesday in a gas station on the south side, about a mile from where George Floyd died under knee of a cop
Preliminary reports have concluded Idd shot at cops first
Officers also raided Idd s family home after his death as the informant claimed that they would find more firearms there

ST. PAUL, Minn. (CN) Minnesota’s highest court unanimously upheld the state’s nonconsensual-porn statute Wednesday, bringing holiday cheer to privacy advocates and a year-end letdown to free-speech groups.
The court found that the statute, which has been embroiled in litigation since its passage in 2016, criminalizes constitutionally protected speech but is focused tightly enough on preventing the nonconsensual dissemination of explicit images to stand up to strict scrutiny.
“The constitutional right to free speech stands as a bedrock for our democracy,” Justice Natalie Hudson wrote in the 26-page opinion. “To protect this fundamental promise, we evaluate any encroachment on free speech with both caution and skepticism.”
