Police said the man — identified by his father as Dolal Idd — was a suspect in a felony and that eyewitnesses said he had fired first. The driver’s window shatters, an officer is heard swearing, and at least a dozen shots are fired. Bayle Gelle, of Eden Prairie, told the Star Tribune on Thursday that the dead man was Idd, his son. Floyd’s death sparked days of sometimes violent protest that spread around the country and resonated worldwide. In Minneapolis, Floyd’s death also led to a push for radical change in the police department, long criticized by activists for what they called a brutal culture that resisted change.
