Protesters on Friday demanded the release of squad camera video in a fatal police shooting last month in Richfield.
Relatives of Brian Quinones, the 30-year-old man shot and killed by Edina and Richfield police officers on Sept. 7, have seen police dashcam video of the incident, according a statement from the city of Edina.
The city of Edina says it's not releasing its police video while the investigation is underway. Richfield has also declined to release its video.
“Because the city does not want to jeopardize Hennepin County’s investigation, the videos will not be made public at this time,” reads the statement.

Chara Blanch, a friend of the Quinones family, said the officers need to be held responsible.
"There is zero accountability so far for what these officers have done to Brian," she said.
The five officers who fired their weapons were not wearing body cameras.
According to investigative documents, Quinones' father told investigators that his son had been despondent and sought out a confrontation with police.
