Prosecutors' decision to pass on charging the Minneapolis officer who fatally shot Amir Locke during an early morning raid on a downtown apartment is fueling fresh calls to end the use of no-knock warrants.

• "This is not over," Locke's mother told reporters Wednesday, as she and national civil rights leaders called for a nationwide ban.

Driving the news: Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison and Hennepin County Attorney Mike Freeman said in a joint statement Wednesday that while Locke "should be alive today, and his death is a tragedy," there isn't "sufficient" evidence to pursue criminal charges.

What they're saying: "We have to get rid of these no-knock warrants because if it can happen to Amir, it can happen to Breonna Taylor, it can happen to your children, too," Benjamin Crump, an attorney representing Locke's family, told reporters at a news conference in New York.

• Locke's mother, meanwhile, vowed to continue to seek justice on her son's behalf, saying she's "disgusted with the city of Minneapolis."

What's happening: Under a new policy in Minneapolis that takes effect Friday, officers must announce themselves at least 20 seconds before entering a premises to execute a search warrant. Exceptions can still be made for high-risk circumstances.

• Similar proposals have been introduced by Minnesota Democrats at the state and federal level. But the full ban introduced in the state House is unlikely to make it into law this year.

What to watch: The charging decision might not be the end of the legal action over Locke's death.

• The Rev. Al Sharpton said Wednesday that he will petition the U.S. Department of Justice to open a federal investigation.

A plan to build a massive sales facility for a "major electric motor vehicle manufacturer" in Bloomington has received full approvals from the city and Met Council.

The intrigue: City staff said they don't know which car company is behind the project. But based on the facility's description, renderings and Axios sources, all signs point to Tesla.

Details: The four-level, 180,000-square-foot sales center would be built on the northeast corner of Interstate 494 and Highway 100, which is the site of a former Days Inn Hotel.

• The developer, Minneapolis-based United Properties, did not respond to a message seeking comment, nor did Tesla.

The big picture: Minnesota has been one of the slower states to adopt electric vehicles, but a high profile presence for Tesla here could change that.

• Tesla currently has small showrooms in Eden Prairie, Maplewood and Rogers.

What's ahead: Bloomington planning manager Glen Markegard said the project is fully entitled and could begin construction as soon as a permit is pulled.

Most of you Axios Twin Cities readers don't care for the use of Minny/Minnie to describe Minneapolis or Minnesota.

Driving the news: A pilot on a recent flight to MSP called us Minny, and we asked you what you thought of this moniker.

While a few of you like it: "LOVE the nickname Minni. I find it warm, welcoming, and endearing," wrote Susan H.

Most of you hate it: "I've never heard a local call it that," Alec W. said. "I only hear pilots say it and I sometimes see it from out-of-towners in Yelp reviews. I assume when they landed here their pilots said it and made them think that was a thing."

The intrigue: Several echoed Alec — Minnie is used as jargon in the airline industry.

• "It is common phraseology in aviation-pilot speak to refer (to the airport) as 'Minnie.' So that is why is easy for a pilot to use this reference outside of aviation speak," wrote Tom K.

Readers cited two other sources for Minny.

• Brian S. noted that Minny is used frequently by NHL players. New Wild goalie Marc-Andre Fleury called us Minny when he arrived in late March.
• Reader Dave W. pointed out that Prince called Minneapolis Minny in his 2015 song "Ain't About 2 Stop."

Alfredo R. wrote that sometimes we don't get to choose our own nicknames — people in San Fransisco don't like "Frisco," but people still call it that.

• "Nicknames are given, not self-prescribed!"

That would be OK with Lauren N., who said that the name makes Minneapolis sounds small, but "if diminutive names keep people from the coasts from moving here and driving up real estate prices, that's fine with me."
