Words from the Minneapolis Chief of Police
"Jamal was just 36 years old, a father, son, fiancée, friend, and a member of the Minneapolis Police Department since 2022.
I am angry and deeply hurt by such a senseless and violent attack on Minneapolis’ Finest.
I knew Jamal. I had the distinct honor of swearing in Jamal as a Minneapolis police officer. Shortly after hitting the street, I commended and honored him for running into a burning house in the 5th Precinct to rescue an elderly couple.
He loved the job, he loved the Minneapolis Police, and he was faithful to the oath he swore unto his death. Jamal was engaged to be married. Jamal died a hero, and like police officers in Minneapolis here and everywhere, he was one of the few who have the courage to stand up and answer the call every single day. He died doing what we asked him to do for the rest of us.
Jamal died doing what society asks all police officers to do. He did his job, and he was loyal to his oath until his death. There is no more honorable service one can provide,” said Minneapolis Chief of Police Brian O’Hara.
