MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — FBI agents fatally shot a man who barricaded himself inside a Minneapolis home for several hours and livestreamed negotiations with officers as they tried to convince him to surrender.
A federal affidavit released Thursday night identified the man killed as 33-year-old Chue Feng Yang of St. Paul, who also went by the first name Kevin, the Star Tribune reported.
Yang used Facebook to livestream and record several minutes of negotiations until he went outside the house with a woman tied to him.
“After barricading himself for several hours, the subject was armed as he emerged from the home,” an FBI statement read.
“The subject was fatally wounded, and another individual required medical assistance.”
Yang's criminal history included convictions for terroristic threats, burglary, illegal firearm possession and auto theft.
He also had three outstanding felony warrants for his arrest. Court records indicate that in one case, he and another person were accused of shooting a dog multiple times with a BB gun inside a stolen SUV before abandoning the wounded animal.
