Original Note:
The suspect was misidentified as a "white supremacist"; Minneapolis Police acted on an anonymous tip that turned out to be inaccurate. In October 2022, the FBI requested the public's help in identifying the "Umbrella Man" whose actions sparked mass looting and rioting. https://www.fbi.gov/contact-us/field-offices/minneapolis/news/press-releases/fbi-seeks-publics-help-in-identifying-umbrella-man
