The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension says it failed to provide an audio recording of a fatal law enforcement shooting to the Ramsey County attorney’s office, which was responsible for determining whether the officers involved would be charged with a crime.

Darren Jahnke used his cellphone to record audio of his interaction with Ramsey County sheriff’s deputies in Vadnais Heights in April 2017, which ended with 47-year-old Jahnke being shot to death after he took a gun from one of the deputies during a scuffle, according to a news release issued Thursday by the BCA.

The county attorney’s office determined the shooting was justified and announced in March that charges would not be filed in the case.

“The agent assigned to review the cellphone information reviewed multiple sets of data stored on the phone but did not listen to audio recordings,” the news release said. “The BCA’s report to the Ramsey County Attorney did not reference or include the audio recording.”

That agent has been reassigned, and the recording “has been turned over to the Ramsey County Attorney’s Office for their consideration in their review of this case,” the news release said.

The Ramsey County attorney’s office said in a statement Thursday that it has reopened its review of the case and will update the public when a charging decision has been made.

“While it is disappointing that this evidence was not presented to us, we appreciate that the BCA is taking steps to ensure that this does not occur again,” the county attorney’s office statement said. “Prosecutors are carefully reviewing the audio and have requested that the BCA prepare a written transcript of that audio.” Related Articles St. Paul woman sentenced for manslaughter in man’s death; murder charge dismissed

Jahnke was shot to death by Ramsey County sheriff’s deputy Andre Rongitsch on April 16, 2017, after Jahnke took a loaded gun from another deputy’s holster during a scuffle in an RV, according to a memorandum released in March by the county attorney’s office.

Jahnke’s sister and the organization Communities United Against Policy Brutality criticized the BCA’s investigation and called for charges against the deputies involved.
