The family of a man killed by Minneapolis police in 2022 is suing the city and several police officers over his death.

The lawsuit filed this week in federal court says Andrew Tekle Sundberg was in the midst of a mental health crisis, and his family accuses police of escalating the situation and failing to bring in mental health responders.

Sundberg, 20 — known to friends and family as Tekle — was killed three years ago. Minneapolis police responded to his apartment building on the 900 block of 21st Avenue South late on July 13, when a 911 caller reported someone was shooting into her apartment.

Police evacuated a woman and her two toddlers from the building after shots came through their walls. According to the city’s account and review of body camera footage, negotiators then spent about six hours on the scene calling Sundberg’s phone and speaking to him over a loudspeaker, attempting to coax him outside.
