Sawchak faces charges of second-degree attempted murder, first-degree assault, stalking and harassment committed because of bias.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/kstp.com\/kstp-news\/top-news\/man-accused-of-shooting-neighbor-in-minneapolis-had-history-of-threats-harassment\/\">Man accused of shooting neighbor in Minneapolis had history of threats, harassment<\/a><\/p>\n<p>On Sunday night, a 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS photographer captured Minneapolis police officers serving a warrant at Sawchak\u2019s home. As of 10:20 p.m., officers were speaking through an intercom, asking for Sawchak to exit the home before law enforcement escalated the situation.<\/p>\n<p>During a press conference on Sunday, Chief O\u2019Hara said the police failed Moturi.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYes. In this instance, we failed this victim. 100%. Because that should not have happened to him. The Minneapolis police somehow did not act urgently enough to prevent that individual from being shot. And to that victim, I say I am sorry,\u201d O\u2019Hara said.<\/p>\n<p>The apology from O\u2019Hara comes after several Minneapolis City Council members have called on Mayor Frey and MPD to move in and arrest Sawchak.  <\/p>\n<p>In response to O\u2019Hara\u2019s apology, Moturi told 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS on Sunday night, \u201cHe didn\u2019t apologize for much of anything. He said MPD failed me and I say you failed me. I have reached out to you for help. Your officers failed me. I reached out for help at multiple points and when I reached out to you for help, you were silent.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Moturi says he was released from the hospital on Sunday night, but says he is afraid to go home while Sawchak is still next door.<\/p>\n<p>Moturi told 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS on Friday that he installed a security camera at his home to capture evidence of the escalating threats. Video of the incident on Wednesday evening shows him pruning a tree near the property line with Sawchak\u2019s apartment building before a \u201cpop\u201d is heard. The victim then collapses backward to the ground.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was like, \u2018I need to get help.\u2019 Part of my brain shut off,\u201d Davis Moturi previously told 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS from his hospital bed.<\/p>\n<nav aria-label=\"breadcrumb\">\n<ol class=\"breadcrumb\"><strong>For Related Stories:<\/strong>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/kstp.com\/tag\/mpd\/\" rel=\"tag\">MPD<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/kstp.com\/tag\/crime\/\" rel=\"tag\">Crime<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/kstp.com\/tag\/minneapolis\/\" rel=\"tag\">Minneapolis<\/a><\/ol>\n<\/nav>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Revcontent Tag --><!-- End Tags - Revcontent --><\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/kstp.com\/kstp-news\/top-news\/we-failed-this-victim-mpd-chief-apologizes-to-man-allegedly-shot-by-neighbor\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Sunday, Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O\u2019Hara apologized to a man who was shot by his neighbor after a year of harassment and intimidation.
