SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) — Police in Sioux Falls are searching for a 17-year-old accused of attempted murder during riots that developed from a protest on May 31 over the death of George Floyd.
Sioux Falls police say they have video of the teen throwing rocks at police, then pulling a handgun from his pants and firing in the direction of police officers. A warrant has been issued for his arrest.
Nationwide protest have called for police reforms and an end to police brutality and racism after Floyd was killed two weeks ago while in the custody of a white Minneapolis officer who pressed a knee on Floyd’s neck for several minutes.
