Officer Mark Hanneman, the shooter who killed Locke, had previously given illicit drugs to protesters in 2012; two officers were involved in beating Jaleel Stallings nearly to death while ‘hunting’ the Minneapolis populace during the George Floyd Uprising; another violently assaulted an advocate for the unhoused at the city’s George Floyd Square in late 2020.

Amir Locke was a 22-year-old registered gun owner with no criminal record. He was killed before 7 a.m. on February 2, 2020, when SWAT officers with the Minneapolis Police Department (MPD) executed a no-knock search warrant for the St. Paul Police who were doing a homicide investigation.
