Prince's fans are still going hard for him after his passing.

Prince died on April 21st, 2016 and his die-hard fans are still fighting for him since The Blast is now reporting that a fan club has filed a complaint with the Lawyers Professional Responsibility Board in Minnesota, alleging that the County Attorney who worked on Prince's death failed to disclose a conflict of interest. 

According to the publication, Carver County Attorney Mark Metz announced that Prince's death did not involve any criminal charges. “We simply do not have sufficient evidence to charge anyone with a crime related to Prince’s death," he said at the time. A group called Justice & Truth for Prince is now stating that Mark did not disclose that his wife, Kari Schutzenhofer Metz, had a friendship with Kirk Johnson who was Prince's friend that took him to a doctor the day before he died. 

The group found evidence of their friendship from Facebook comments, that has now been deleted. “In light of Kari Metz’s friendship with Kirk Johnson, we request that the Board undertake a thorough investigation of Mark Metz’s use of his prosecutorial discretion not to charge anyone with a crime regarding Prince’s death, despite Kirk Johnson’s obvious and blatant violations of the Controlled Substances Act in active collaboration with Dr. Mark Schulenberg, and possibly other doctors," the complaint writes.

The Lawyers Professional Responsibility Board told The Blast that they cannot comment on complaints that have been filed.
