Minneapolis police said earlier this week that officers were called to an apartment in the 2200 block of Blaisdell Avenue in the Whittier neighborhood around 5:15 p.m. on Thursday for a report of a shooting when the situation escalated.
The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA) said officers were “ambushed” while responding. BCA Superintendent Drew Evans told reporters that Officer Mitchell noticed an injured person about two blocks from the shooting scene and got out of his car. Officer Mitchell was attempting to provide medical assistance when he was ambushed, Evans said. Evans told reporters he had seen video of the shooting and described it as close quarters combat.
Minneapolis Police Officer Jamal Mitchell died from “multiple gunshot wounds” and his manner of death was listed as a “homicide,” according to a press release from the medical examiner’s office on Friday.
The second person killed in the shooting was identified as 32-year-old Osman Said Zimareh of Minneapolis. The coroner said Zimareh also died of “multiple gunshot wounds” in a “homicide.”
