#Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension Superintendent Drew Evans said that after the agency consulted with the Hennepin County Attorney’s Office, the #USattorney’s office & the #FBI following the Wednesday #shooting of 37-year-old mother-of-3 #ReneeNicoleGood, “it was decided that the BCA Force Investigations Unit would conduct a joint investigation with the FBI” & that the “BCA responded promptly to the scene & began coordinating investigative work in good faith.
He said the #FBI informed the #BCA later Wednesday that the #USattorney’s office had changed the plan.
“The investigation would now be led solely by the FBI, & the BCA would no longer have access to the case materials, scene evidence or investigative interviews necessary to complete a thorough & independent investigation,” Evans wrote.

#Minnesota AG Keith Ellison just reacted to the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension being forced to withdraw from investigating the fatal #ICE #shooting in #Minneapolis after the #FBI “took control” of the case, saying it is “deeply concerning, extremely disappointing.”
“My question is, what are you afraid of? What are you afraid of an independent investigation for?” Ellison questioned.

Before hearing the news, Ellison said he was still trying to reverse the #federal govt’s course.
“I’m still trying to say: Wait a minute, don’t do this stupid thing! Do not go forward with an exclusive, which would be an inherently untrustworthy investigation. Do what is right, do what is wise, do what is best for this country, & have an inclusive joint investigation that includes cooperation by state & local authorities,” he said.

#Minnesota AG Keith Ellison told CNN he is trying to figure out who he “can get on the phone with & persuade to reverse this poor decision,” referring to #federal investigators excluding a #state agency from investigating Wednesday’s fatal #ICE #shooting in #Minneapolis.
“What I have seen is deeply disturbing & there is sufficient basis for further investigation & potential charges,” Ellison said of the case.
