Federal agencies are investigating the death of Jamar Clark for possible federal crimes, officials announced.
U.S. Attorney for the District of Minnesota Andrew M. Luger, Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Vanita Gupta, and Special Agent in Charge of the FBI Minneapolis Division Richard T. Thornton jointly released a statement on the ongoing investigation.
"The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Minnesota, Civil Rights Division and FBI Minneapolis Division are conducting an independent investigation into whether the death of Jamar Clark violated any federal criminal statutes," the statement read.
As part of the investigation, federal prosecutors and FBI agents are conducting a thorough review of all evidence, including interviewing relevant witnesses and reviewing relevant information.

As the investigation continues, the community remains on high alert, demanding justice for Jamar Clark and his family.
