The Minneapolis police officer who shot a man during a domestic assault call Saturday has been identified.
Officer Derek Chauvin, a seven-year veteran, shot and wounded Ira Latrell Toles at a south-side apartment early Saturday.
According to police:
Just before 2 a.m., 911 dispatchers received a call from a residence at 1828 Columbus Ave. S. According to police, the 911 call remained open, and an operator could hear a woman yelling for someone to stop hitting her.
Chauvin and another officer who responded had to force their way into the apartment.
Toles ran from the officers as soon as they got inside, but they caught and tried to subdue him, according to police. In the struggle, Toles grabbed at one of the officer’s guns. Chauvin fired at Toles and hit him in the torso.
Toles was taken to Hennepin County Medical Center.
The officers are on paid administrative leave pending an investigation of the shooting, as is standard Minneapolis police department policy.
Chauvin started the Minneapolis Police Academy in October 2001. He has worked in the first, third, fourth precincts and the water works security detail. Earlier this year, he was awarded a department medal of valor for his response in an incident involving a man armed with a gun.
