Minneapolis police have released bodycam footage of a fatal shooting by officers, the first death at the hands of police in the US city since that of George Floyd, a black man, in May.

The victim, Dolal Idd, 23, was a suspect in a felony and was stopped by police on Wednesday. He was also black.

Initial witness statements and police say Mr Idd fired first and was shot dead when the officers returned fire.

Minneapolis saw months of unrest after Mr Floyd’s death in police custody.

The protests spread across the US amid allegations of police brutality.

Mr Floyd died after a police officer knelt on his neck for nearly nine minutes.

Dolal Idd... Somali-American...?

Double-whammy.

Read from the BBC that he was something of a suspect in a felony though.
