Description
Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara said his department "failed" after a man was shot, allegedly by his neighbor in the city.
"We failed this victim 100% because that should not have happened to him," said O'Hara in a Sunday evening press conference.
The chief was discussing the shooting of Davis Moturi, who for months had been in contact with the MPD about escalating harassment from his neighbor, John Sawchak.
Sawchak was charged with shooting Moturi as he was pruning a tree on his front yard on Oct. 23.
Moturi remains hospitalized with a fractured spine, two broken ribs, and a concussion.
