Police thought 23-year-old Dolal Idd was selling a once-banned assault weapon when they tried to arrest him last week. That's according to a court document made public Monday in the wake of Idd’s fatal shooting by officers outside a south Minneapolis gas station on Wednesday.

The warrant document also says investigators told a judge they urgently needed access to his family’s home to recover any weapons, before anyone might learn of Idd’s death and try to remove them or any other evidence. Idd's family and their supporters said the search warrant served at their Eden Prairie home was unnecessarily aggressive.
