BCA identifies 3 Minneapolis officers involved in fatal shooting
The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension has identified the three Minneapolis police officers who fired their guns during a fatal shooting Wednesday that left one man dead.
According to investigators, officers Enoch Langford, Abdirizaq Mumin and Chaz Wilson fired their weapons during the confrontation, which ended near the intersection of 34th Street and Hiawatha Avenue in Minneapolis.
The Hennepin County medical examiner has identified the deceased man as 39-year-old Michael Warren Ristow of Bloomington. Ristow died from multiple gunshot wounds.
BCA investigators say the officers responded to a 911 call from a person who said they were threatened by a man with a gun. At the scene, officers tried to make contact with the man later determined to be Ristow, but investigators say Ristow fled from officers.
After a foot chase, investigators say the officers fired when Ristow “turned toward officers with a gun in his hand.”
The preliminary findings do not say if Ristow pointed the gun at officers or fired.
Police Chief Brian O’Hara has said the man’s gun appeared to have “jammed.”
The officers are on leave as the BCA investigation continues.
