Minneapolis remains on edge, with several protests planned after shooting of Renee Nicole Macklin Good
US politics live – latest updates
The FBI has taken full control of the investigation into the fatal shooting of Renee Nicole Macklin Good by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency (ICE) officer in Minneapolis, it emerged on Thursday.
In a statement, the Minneosta Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA) said it was initially called upon to help investigate the shooting before federal officials “reversed course” and said the case would be solely led by the FBI. As it now no longer has access to the case materials, witnesses and evidence, the BCA said it had “reluctantly” withdrawn from the investigation.
As tensions escalated, authorities in Minneapolis had canceled school classes across the city on Thursday amid safety concerns and rising political tension after the US citizen was killed by a federal agent during a large-scale immigration enforcement operation on Wednesday.
