Minneapolis Man Arrested for Shooting Neighbor Amid Community Outrage

A Minneapolis man has been arrested after allegedly shooting his neighbor during an ongoing dispute that lasted over a year. The arrest follows significant community pressure due to concerns over police inaction, as the victim had reported multiple threats leading up to the incident. The police chief acknowledged that the department failed to adequately protect the victim, a Black man, from violent harassment by his white neighbor. The shooting, which escalated from a property dispute involving tree pruning, has sparked outrage and prompted calls for a review of police response protocols. Following a tense standoff and a SWAT operation, the suspect is now facing charges, including attempted murder, after a video of the incident emerged, further fueling local demands for accountability.
