The confrontation happened about 6.15pm Wednesday in a gas station on the south side, about a mile from where Floyd died.
Police said the man - identified by his father as Dolal Idd - was a suspect in a felony and that eyewitnesses said he had fired first.
The city released a brief clip from one officer's body-camera in two versions, one of them slowed down to make it easier to follow.
The video showed the man attempting to drive away from police before his vehicle was hemmed in, and then showed him looking through his driver's side window at the officers. It was difficult to make out more detail.
The driver's window shatters, an officer is heard swearing, and at least a dozen shots are fired.
Chief Medaria Arradondo said a gun was found at the scene. A woman in the car was unhurt; no officers were hurt.
At a news conference, Arradondo was asked whether officers used reasonable force, and he said they reacted to a deadly threat.
