On April 11, 2021, 20-year-old African-American, Daunte Demetrius Wright, was shot and killed by police in Brooklyn Center, Minnesota. He was shot by 26-year police veteran Kimberly Ann Potter, during a traffic stop.

Wright died of a gunshot wound to the chest. His girlfriend, who was in the vehicle at the time, was hospitalized, because as a startled Wright attempted to drive away after being suddenly shot in the chest, as opposed to tased when the words "TASER! TASER! TASER!" were uttered, he accidentally clipped another car and crashed into a barrier.

Wright was pulled over for having air fresheners hanging from his rear-view mirror, which is a crime in Minnesota. Police also stated Wright had outstanding warrants. Nonetheless, the man died over air-fresheners and Potter must be held accountable for this senseless loss of life.

Potter claims she meant to tase him, but pulled out her gun instead and fatally shot Wright. I'm having a hard time believing that one. So is most of social networking. People have been protesting for days.

Potter and Brooklyn Center police chief, Tim Gannon, have both resigned. Potter has been arrested on second-degree manslaughter charges. She was remanded into custody at the Hennepin County Jail.

The NAACP stated of Wright's alarming and preventable murder, "Whether it be carelessness and negligence, or a blatant modern-day lynching, the result is the same. Another black man has died at the hands of police."

Wright was shot in the vicinity of the Derek Chauvin murder trial, regarding the police officer's murder of African-American, George Floyd. This latest incident shows a pattern of criminal misconduct by police in the area, in reference to killing black men in cold blood. The jury should take this into consideration during deliberations.
