Minneapolis sees march for justice for Dolal Idd after new police killing
Protesters rally against police brutality, Sunday, Jan. 3, 2021, in Minneapolis, at the gas station where Dolal Idd was shot by Minneapolis police several days earlier

MORE than 1,000 people marched in Minneapolis on Sunday to demand justice for Dolal Idd, a black man killed after his car was stopped by officers on Wednesday.

Mr Idd, a Somali-American, was the first person to be killed by police in the city since the murder in May of George Floyd, which sparked huge protests across the United States and beyond over racist police killings.

Police say that Mr Idd was wanted in a weapons investigation and that he fired on officers first.
