Local leaders of the Somali community are planning to file a complaint against the Minneapolis Police Department for what it calls a racist statement.

Murder charges were dropped Tuesday against Ramadan Abdi Sheck Osman when witnesses refused to testify against him.

Police believe he shot and killed Augsburg College student Ahmed-Nur Ali outside the Brian Cole Community Center last September.

Minneapolis Police spokesman Sgt. Jesse Garcia told the Star Tribune "this is their community. It’s up to them to help bring the killer to justice."

The Somali Justice Advocacy Center says it's deeply troubled by the statement.
