PAUL -- The Minnesota Department of Public Safety Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA) Force Investigations Unit (FIU) will conduct an independent investigation of the July 2022 incident and circumstances surrounding the death of Khalil Azad. The Robbinsdale Police Department requested the investigation by the BCA's Force Investigation Unit, as it was not requested at the time of the incident.
