During the stop, police said shooting was exchanged and the suspect was beaten. He was pronounced dead at the scene by medical personnel.
According to police, a woman in the passenger seat was not injured, nor were officers injured in the incident.
Teams with the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension are at the scene and leading the investigation, police said.
Police said officers’ bodies were believed to have been turned on when the incident happened, but it is unclear if they captured the shooting and what led to it. There were also witnesses to the incident.
The Hennepin County Medical Examiner’s Office will later identify the victim and his cause of death. The BCA is expected to identify the officers involved in the coming days.
