The chief was discussing the shooting of Davis Maturi, who for months had been contact with the MPD about escalating harassment from his neighbor, John Sawchak.

On Friday, five City Council members sent a letter to Mayor Jacob Frey and Police Chief Brian O’Hara expressing their “utter horror at [the Police Department’s] failure to protect a Minneapolis resident from a clear, persistent and amply reported threat posed by his neighbor.”

A Minneapolis man is in the hospital tonight after he says his neighbor shot him. But so far Minneapolis police haven’t made an arrest yet, because they want to do it safely.

A white Minneapolis man was charged with attempted murder Thursday after allegedly shooting his Black neighbor in the neck for touching a tree following an ongoing dispute, but the failure of police to arrest the suspect has angered city council members.

A warrant has been issued for a Minneapolis man's arrest after a year-long pattern of harassment and intimidation against his neighbors culminated in a shooting earlier this week, court documents say.

Sawchak is not in custody, but there are at least three active warrants, including this most recent one, calling for his arrest.
