Hundreds of people gathered to mourn Amir Locke, a 22-year-old Black man who was shot dead by police during a raid on his apartment, the latest in a series of killings by law enforcement that sparked outrage over police treatment of Black Americans.
Prominent civil rights activist the Reverend Al Sharpton delivered Locke’s eulogy on Thursday, after a public viewing at a church in Minneapolis, a metropolitan area where two high-profile killings of Black men attracted national attention in the past two years.
