The mother of Daunte Wright, a Black man from a suburb of Minneapolis who was fatally shot by a white officer last year, says she was injured after an officer from the same police department briefly detained her after she stopped on the side of the road to record a traffic stop arrest.
Katie Wright’s 20-year-old son was killed during a traffic stop by Brooklyn Center Police Department officer Kim Potter, who claimed to mistake her handgun for her Taser during the incident. She was convicted of first and second-degree manslaughter in a trial in December and sentenced to two years in prison.
