MINNEAPOLIS — Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara said his department “failed” after a man was shot, allegedly by his neighbor in the city. 

“We failed this victim. 100%, because that should not have happened to him,” said O’Hara in a Sunday evening press conference. 

The chief was discussing the shooting of Davis Moturi, who for months had been contact with the MPD about escalating harassment from his neighbor, John Sawchak.

Sawchak was charged with shooting Moturi as he was pruning a tree on his front yard on Oct. 23. 

Moturi remains hospitalized with a fractured spine, two broken ribs, and a concussion. 

O’Hara and the MPD came under a heavy attack from the Minneapolis City Council after it was revealed that the Hennepin County Attorney’s Office had charged Sawchak, but the MPD had not arrested him. 

“MPD still has not arrested the suspect despite charges from the Hennepin County Attorney’s Office for Attempted Murder, 1st Degree Assault, Stalking, and Harassment and a request from the HCAO for a warrant with $1 million bail. MPD told the HCAO they do not intend to execute the warrant ‘for reasons of officer safety,’” said the letter from the Minneapolis City Council.

“We failed to act urgently enough,” said O’Hara, before citing staffing concerns as a contributing factor. 

It was a stark difference from the tone the chief initially took on Friday, then saying “If we wound up in a deadly situation, the headlines would read ‘MPD shot mentally ill person’.” 

On Sunday, O’Hara said his previous comments were meant as a response to accusations that the MPD “didn’t care,” about the case.

“This is the result of over-politicizing policing in Minneapolis,” said O’Hara.

O’Hara stated that the MPD will, for the moment, continue waiting for Sawchak to exit his home to arrest him, but the chief added “We are running out of options before we have to escalate the matter.”

The heated back-and-forth between the city council and the chief continued earlier Sunday when Minneapolis City Council member Emily Koski released a statement questioning O’Hara and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey actions in the matter.

“Our Chief of Police is hiding behind excuses, and our Mayor…is just hiding.” said Koski in the statement.
