Twenty-two-year-old Terrance Franklin was killed by officers after being chased through a south Minneapolis neighborhood and cornered in the basement of a home in May 2013. Police said he was wanted for questioning in a burglary case and that Franklin grabbed one of the officers' guns and wounded two during a struggle.
Eight years later, the Hennepin County Attorney's Office is asking the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA) to review the shooting, as there's new video evidence of the shooting from a bystander across the street.
