The family of a 22-year-old killed when police in the United States executed a “no-knock” search on the apartment where he was sleeping has filed a lawsuit in federal court on Friday, alleging wrongdoing on the part of city of Minneapolis, its police force and the officer who fired the fatal shots.The death of Amir Locke on February 2, 2022, brought renewed scrutiny to the practice of issuing “no-knock” warrants, allowing police to enter buildings without announcing their presence first.“Our hearts are broken, and there is nothing in the world that will make that better,” Locke’s parents, Karen Wells and Andre Locke, said in a statement on Friday. “Amir was a beautiful 22-year-old man with his whole life to be lived and we will never know how his contributions could have made the world a better place.”
