A Brooklyn Center officer fatally shot a 20-year-old man during a traffic stop Sunday afternoon, with a large crowd forming in the aftermath and police in riot gear holding the area. Police tried to stop the driver on the 6300 block of Orchard Ave. shortly before 2 p.m., when they learned he had an outstanding warrant, according to a media release from Brooklyn Center police.
When officers were trying to take him into custody, the driver re-entered the vehicle, police said. An officer discharged their firearm, striking the driver, who continued driving several blocks before hitting another vehicle near 63rd Ave. N. & Kathrene Dr.
Officers who were in pursuit rendered aid to the man at the crash site, but he died a short time later. A female passenger in the man’s vehicle had non-life-threatening injuries from the crash and was taken to the hospital. No one in the vehicle that was struck was hurt.
Family members at the scene identified the man as Daunte Wright, though he has not yet been identified by authorities. Wright’s mother said he called her on the phone to say he was getting pulled over, she told those gathered near the scene Sunday.
As officers locked down the area, a crowd grew larger and more vocal. Officers in full riot gear formed a line to keep the crowd back, and at least two squad cars were damaged by large rocks, with several people seen standing atop them in livestreams shared to social media.
Wright’s family and community leaders called for calm as the facts of the incident still come to light.
“The officer shooting in Brooklyn Center today is tragic. We are asking the protesters to continue to be peaceful and that peaceful protesters are not dealt with with force.” Brooklyn Center Mayor Mike Elliot said in a tweet.
The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension is investigating the officer-involved shooting and more information is expected in the coming days. Brooklyn Center officers wear body cameras and their dash camera video should be made available during the investigation.

A suspect was shot and killed early Friday in Brooklyn Center following a struggle with an officer. The shooting happened after police conducted a traffic stop near the intersection of Shingle Creek Parkway and the entrance ramp to westbound I-94.
The Hennepin County Sheriff's Office is leading the investigation. The Brooklyn Center officer involved in the fatal shooting is on standard administrative leave. The officer's name has not been released. Authorities also have not released the identity of the man killed. It's also unknown if the man was carrying a gun.
This was the second time in 24 hours that Brooklyn police were called to the area. The officer-involved shooting happened not far from where another man was killed early Thursday in a separate case. Police do not believe the two incidents are related.
The last time Brooklyn Center police shot and killed someone was last May when a 20-year old man was walking down 53rd Street carrying a rifle. That man, 20-year-old Dontaylo Wright, was asked by officers to drop the weapons, but did not comply.
