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.

A recently unsealed civil lawsuit filed by the mother of Caleb Livingston claims Daunte Wright, whose death became a rallying cry for the anti-police violence movement following his death in April, shot Livingston in the head in May 2019, when he was 16.
Livingston was shot at a petrol station in Minneapolis and the wound left him in a vegetative state, Jennifer LeMay claims in the lawsuit, originally filed on May 4 under seal. A judge recently ruled the case could be unsealed.
A memorandum filed in the case cited by KARE 11, a Minneapolis news outlet, claims Wright and Livingston were childhood friends before having a falling out. Livingston’s “first sleep over as a boy was at Wright’s home”.
The civil complaint, filed on May 4 in Hennepin County District Court, alleges Wright shot then-16-year-old Caleb Livingston on May 14, 2019, outside Full Stop, a gas station on Lowry Avenue in north Minneapolis .
