Overview
- At the Landgericht Cottbus, the defense for Dawid K. moved to dismiss a murder charge over Officer Maximilian Stoppa’s death, arguing prior Hildesheim and Leipzig convictions trigger Strafklageverbrauch.
- The presiding judge said the chamber currently sees no consumption of prosecution, citing the time and distance from the thefts to the fatal crash, but the court is deliberating the motion.
- Prosecutors allege Dawid K. drove at high speed, ignored police efforts to stop him with a stop stick, and accepted the risk of killing Stoppa during the January 2025 pursuit.
- In Minneapolis, DHS said an ICE agent shot a Venezuelan man in the leg during an arrest after an attack in which two others allegedly joined; the wounded man is hospitalized with non‑life‑threatening injuries and the two additional suspects are in custody.
- Local officials dispute parts of the DHS narrative and demand independent reviews as protests intensify, with the city urging ICE to leave, Minnesota and Illinois pursuing lawsuits against the federal government, and UN and Human Rights Watch calling for transparent investigations into the earlier fatal shooting of Renee Good.
