The Hennepin County Attorney’s Office has cleared three Minneapolis police officers involved in the fatal shooting of an armed man in June. “The loss of any life is a tragic event,” Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty said in a Wednesday statement. “After a thorough review of the (Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension) investigation, the decision to decline charges in this case is appropriate. Our thoughts are with everyone impacted by this incident.” According to investigators, officers Enoch Langford, Abdirizaq Mumin and Chaz Wilson fired their weapons during the June 12 confrontation, which ended near the intersection of 34th Street and Hiawatha Avenue in Minneapolis. BCA investigators say the officers responded to a 911 call from a person who said they were threatened by a man with a gun. At the scene, officers tried to make contact with the man later determined to be Michael Warren Ristow, 39, of Bloomington, but investigators say Ristow fled from officers. After a foot chase and repeatedly ordering Ristow to stop, he appeared to rack the slide of the firearm and began raising it to point at the officers, who then fired, striking Ristow multiple times. He was later pronounced dead at a hospital. The BCA’s investigation was conducted at the request of the Minneapolis Police Department, in accordance with state law.
