Minneapolis police release bodycam of shooting that killed Officer Jamal Mitchell

Video of the May 30 incident shows Mitchell arriving at the scene of a reported shooting near the intersection of 22nd Street and Blaisdell Avenue.

“It looks like we have at least two victims outside at the location, bleeding,” Mitchell communicates over the radio before stepping out of his squad.

The shooter, 35-year-old Mustafa Mohamed, is lying on the ground in the street, appearing to be hurt.

“Who shot you? Who shot you?” Mitchell asks, before putting on blue latex gloves, preparing to give first aid. “Are there victims inside?” he continues, waving toward a nearby apartment building.

That’s when the video shows Mohamed pulling out a handgun. The footage ends before the suspect fires at Mitchell.

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara appeared to be on the verge of tears while viewing the footage of his fallen colleague. The chief says Mitchell did what he was trained to do: help those in need.

“He was very suddenly and without provocation ambushed and assassinated,” O’Hara said.

A second video captures Officer Luke Kittock’s point of view. He arrives at the scene a few minutes later, after Mustafa had already fired at responding officers, a firefighter, and several others.

Kittock gets out of a squad car carrying a rifle as sirens blare and emergency dispatches warn of the suspect “actively shooting” in the area. Civilians taking cover behind a parked SUV point Kittock and other officers in the direction of the gunman.

Kittock and Officer Nicholas Kapinos are seen firing several rounds toward Mustafa’s location before running up, taking cover behind a brick wall, and then advancing again once Mustafa is down. Mustafa was pronounced dead at the scene.

Police say Mustafa had shot two people inside an apartment building before Mitchell’s arrival; 32-year-old Osman Said Jimale was pronounced dead on scene, while 36-year-old Mohamed Bashir Aden died a week later.
