State and local leaders say
💥they do not believe that the #FBI #investigation of the shooting death of #Renee #Nicole #Good will be fair and impartial,

-- and are sounding alarms about the impact of federal officials
🆘 holding onto evidence in a potential prosecution of the ICE agent who killed her.

Minnesota’s lead investigative agency,
the "Bureau of Criminal Apprehension" ( #BCA ),
initially began investigating the shooting in conjunction with the FBI.

But the BCA issued a statement Thursday morning saying that
“the US attorney’s office had reversed course:
the investigation would now be led solely by the FBI,
and the BCA would no longer have access to the case materials,
scene evidence or investigative interviews necessary to complete a thorough and independent investigation”.

Hennepin county attorney
#Mary #Moriarty,
an elected Democrat and the county’s prosecutor, clarified at a press conference Friday that
the BCA
– which was established in 1927
– has a very high investigative standard
💥and that this standard can’t be met when the organization doesn’t have access to all the evidence.
It does not preclude an investigation, she said.
But a lack of access to evidence hampers the investigation.

“When the BCA came to the scene,
the evidence had been taken by the FBI,” she said.
“They collected the car and took it wherever the BCA does not have access to the car.
And the problem isn’t that the FBI took the car,
it’s that the BCA doesn’t have access to the car, or right now,
even access to the #forensic #evaluation that happens as a result of the investigation with that car.”

Looks like genuine mistake here - not even malice or incompetence but maybe made worse by #austerity (with delays in access to specialist #forensic staff)

#RTC with #fatalities and serious #injuries happened late at night on a weekend, some in #car weren't cooperating with #Police (possibly due to bad #driving) - two lads (one killed, one badly injured) were similar in appearance leading to mixup in #identification for a few days (#NHS don't store detailed #dental records of citizens, so some #forensic work would have had to wait until the start of the week when the dentists offices were open)

The renewed #search effort for a #missing #Belgian #backpacker has been suspended, while police conduct #forensic examinations of discovered items.

It could take weeks for the bottle to be tested & months before data from the mobile phone is released.
