A white Nationalist group based in California had a shrine it created for Australian Justine Damond removed after police were made aware of its presence.
Ms Damond was shot and killed by a Somali-American police officer in July after she called to report what she believed was a sexual assault in the lane outside her home in Minneapolis.
The case has made headlines around the world and Identity Evropa posted a tweet of a shrine on December 23 it claimed activists created after prosecutors did not charge the officer involved.
Following the tweet, mayor-elect Jacob Frey slammed the group and said anyone who shared the group's values were not welcome in the city.
"Identity Evropa and those who share their values have no place in our city. Hate has no place in Minneapolis. Period," he said in a statement on Saturday.

Police spokesperson John Elder told local radio: "We cannot allow any memorial and anything like that to be put up at that location".
The Southern Poverty Law Centre, an organisation tracking hate groups in the US, claim Identity Evropa is an alt-right white nationalist group that attempts to appeal to college students.
Recently Ms Damond's family were unhappy with Hennepin County Attorney Mike Freeman's comments in a video where he criticised investigators.
In the video Mr Freeman criticised investigators for not doing "their jobs" and revealed the key witness in the fatal shooting, Officer Noor's partner Officer Matthew Harrity, had offered little insight.
