Protestors shouted Amir Locke's name outside Minneapolis police chief's home as they called for her resignation over his death

• Crowds protested the shooting death of Amir Locke outside the apparent home of the acting Minneapolis police chief.
• They shouted Locke's name and yelled out that Interim Police Chief Amelia Huffman has "blood" on her hands.

A group of protesters on Sunday gathered outside the apparent home of the acting Minneapolis police chief to call for her resignation over the death of Amir Locke, a Black man who was shot by police earlier this month.

The protesters demanded justice for 22-year-old Locke, who was shot and killed on February 2 by Minneapolis police during the execution of a no-knock search warrant at a downtown apartment.

Throngs of the demonstrators amassed outside of what was believed to be the home of Minneapolis' Interim Police Chief Amelia Huffman as they chanted, "Amir Locke" repeatedly.

"Scream his name," one protester told the crowd, according to a video of the demonstration posted to Facebook by independent journalist Georgia Fort.

The crowd also yelled, "Hey, hey, ho, ho, Amelia Huffman has got to go," and shouted that the acting police chief has "blood" on her hands for Locke's death.

"Enough is enough," protesters shouted.

Locke was fatally shot by a SWAT officer with the Minneapolis Police Department as a team carried out the warrant as part of a St. Paul, Minnesota homicide investigation.

Graphic footage of the incident from a police body-worn camera shows Locke under a blanket on the couch when police stormed into the home in the early morning hours. Locke can be seen with a pistol in his hand moments before he was shot dead.

The young man's parents said Locke was an aspiring hip-hop artist and "law-abiding citizen" who was "executed" by police. Locke was also a legal gun owner, his family said.

The demonstrators on Sunday were also part of a caravan of about 50 cars that drove through Minneapolis on Sunday night. It was organized by multiple police accountability groups, including Communities United Against Police Brutality and the Racial Justice Network, The Star Tribune reported.

"We're asking for her job," activist Toussaint Morrison said over a microphone outside Huffman's home, according to The Minneapolis Star Tribune.

Morrison added, "Because it seems like the only time they pay attention is when it affects their jobs or their money. But we pull up when it affects our lives."

The protesters also called out the name of Breonna Taylor, a 26-year-old Black woman who was also killed during a no-knock police raid in 2020 in Kentucky.

Meanwhile, Huffman said last week that Locke was not named in the original search warrant.

"At this point, it is unclear if or how he's connected to St. Paul's investigation, but they are continuing to work dedicatedly on that case," Huffman said at the time.

The officer who shot Locke, identified as Mark Hanneman, has since been placed on administrative leave, "which is standard operating procedure," a police spokesman told Insider.
