# Eagan Outlet Mall *Place in [[Eagan]], [[Minnesota]]; the starting point of a march on the first anniversary of the July 2, 2019 Eagan police shooting of Isak Aden.* The Eagan Outlet Mall is in Eagan, Minnesota. It appears in one entry of the project's at-issue record. That entry records that about 150 people marched from the mall to the site of the shooting of [[Isak Aden]] on the first anniversary of his death.[^1] The shooting took place in Eagan on July 2, 2019. The county attorney declined to prosecute on November 13, 2019.[^2] The sources gathered here do not document the mall's ownership, its opening date, or any other history. The article covers only the mall's place in the record of the Aden case.[^1] ## Where The at-issue entry places the mall as the starting point of the anniversary march. The march ran from the Eagan Outlet Mall to the site of the shooting, with roughly 150 participants.[^1] The entry draws on two news sources, *Sahan Journal* and *Unicorn Riot*.[^1] ## In the at-issue record The entry, AI-Dakota-025, sets three items beside one another:[^1] - **The complaint.** The Aden family's federal complaint described the police response as "another tragic display of an over-aggressive, over-militarized police response." It also alleged that officers "ignored Mr. Aden's compliance."[^1] - **The march.** About 150 people marched from the mall on the first anniversary.[^1] - **The video.** The county released video that placed a large circular blur over Aden at the moment he was shot.[^3] The project's dossier states that the blur obscured whether Aden pointed the weapon. The dossier describes that as the single fact on which the justification turned.[^3] The entry anchors the redaction item to a White House presidential action of March 2025.[^4] ## In the Minnesota record ### When - **July 2, 2019.** Isak Aden was shot by police in Eagan.[^2] - **November 13, 2019.** The county attorney declined to prosecute.[^2] - **September 29, 2023.** In the family's federal suit, Judge [[Jerry W. Blackwell]] made the following rulings:[^5] - He denied qualified immunity to every officer who fired. - He denied qualified immunity to three supervisors on the less-lethal force. - He allowed the Monell claim against Eagan to proceed, on the ground that the chief authorized the tactical plan. - He found a genuine dispute over whether "any immediate threat had been extinguished." - **The record before the court.** As the dossier summarizes it, Aden had negotiated for more than four hours. He was unarmed at the moment he was targeted, with more than eighty officers present under sniper coverage. He was struck by flashbangs and foam rounds before five officers fired twelve rounds in 3.73 seconds.[^5] - **February 12, 2025.** The Eighth Circuit reversed on qualified immunity. According to the dossier, no settlement was paid.[^6] ## Notes [^1]: Minnesota wiki at-issue record, *AI-Dakota-025* (Dakota package; drawn from the Backstrom Apex Dossier §III, 2026-09-02, with news sources sahanjournal.com and unicornriot.ninja) — records the complaint language, the march of roughly 150 people from the Eagan Outlet Mall to the site on the first anniversary, and the blurred video.
