Exactly one year ago, Tiffany Burns got a call in the middle of the night to inform her that her 24-year-old brother, Jamar Clark, had been shot by Minneapolis police. The memory of that phone call kept Burns from sleeping Monday night.
On Tuesday, she gathered with members of Clark's family and about a hundred others near where Clark was fatally shot Nov. 15, 2015.
They paid their respects and voiced their frustration that the officers involved in Clark's death were not disciplined.
"It's been a whole year of sadness, disappointment," Burns said. She wore a white sweatshirt with Jamar Clark's photo printed on it.
"It's been a year of feeling overwhelmed and not vindicated, at all," she said. "We are still seeking closure for this."
Clark's family members have said they plan to file a wrongful-death lawsuit against the city, contending that Clark's shooting could have been averted. Burns, however, says she doesn't care. She just wants justice.
"I just want to see that person in jail. Period. Then I will have closure," Burns said.
Officers Mark Ringgenberg and Dustin Schwarze were cleared of any criminal or civil wrongdoing in separate state and federal investigations and are back on duty.
