Four people, including Mitchell, were killed in the shooting late last month.

At about 5:15 p.m. on May 30, police received a call of two people shot inside an apartment complex on the 2200 block of Blaisdell Avenue South in the south Minneapolis neighborhood of Whittier.

Officer Mitchell was about two blocks from the complex when he noticed someone injured.

Mitchell approached to help, but Mustafa pulled a gun and shot Mitchell several times in an "ambush," police said.

Another officer arrived and exchanged gunfire with Mustafa, who was shot dead. The officer suffered non-life-threatening gunshot wounds.

When other officers searched the apartment complex two blocks away, they found the two people inside who had been shot, including Jimale, who was dead. The other person — Aden — was hospitalized in critical condition but later died.

The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension is working with Minneapolis police investigators to determine the circumstances surrounding the shooting deaths.

The shooting comes about three months after two officers and a firefighter-paramedic in the Minneapolis suburb of Burnsville were killed while responding to a sexual assault call inside a home.
