Demonstrators are camped outside a Minneapolis police station to protest the shooting of Jamar Clark

Federal attorneys are set to fly to Minneapolis on Sunday to investigate the Nov. 15 police shooting of Jamar Clark, an unarmed black man who died the following day, The Associated Press reports. Authorities have not released video footage of the incident to the public.

"I will urge that the tapes be provided to the family and released to the public, as soon as doing so will not jeopardize the Department of Justice's investigation," Gov. Mark Dayton (D) said Saturday after meeting with Clark's family and Black Lives Matter activists. Dayton also encouraged Clark's family to meet with federal officials, the Star Tribune reports.

The police union has said Clark, 24, reached for an officer's gun after interfering with paramedics responding to an assault call. Protesters dispute that account, with some claiming he was handcuffed at the time he was shot.
