Hennepin County Medical Examiner’s Office Boarded Up

Boarded entrance at the Hennepin County Medical Examiner in Minneapolis behind security fencing.
Security fencing and boarded-up entrances surround the Hennepin County Medical Examiner's office at 530 5th Avenue in Minneapolis. This measure was taken in anticipation of the Derek Chauvin trial, which began in March 2021. The office is responsible for investigating deaths in Hennepin County, including those that occur under suspicious circumstances or involve law enforcement. The plywood covering the building's entrances suggests a response to potential unrest or damage during the period of heightened public attention surrounding the trial.
