Fences were set up outside the Brooklyn Center Police Department on Monday as demonstrators gathered to condemn the fatal shooting of Daunte Wright.

Protesters gathered carrying signs and chanting slogans outside the police precinct after the death of 20-year-old Daunte Wright, shot by the police on Sunday, sparked unrest in the town, currently under curfew.

Protesters chanted slogans such as 'Justice for Daunte Wright,' and 'No justice, no peace.'

National Guard officers were also present outside the police department.

According to local authorities, Wright was pulled over on Sunday afternoon but reentered the vehicle and continued driving, after which a police officer mistakenly fired at him instead of using a Taser.

Wright crashed his car a few blocks away and was later pronounced dead.

The incident took place about 10 miles (16 kilometres) from the spot where George Floyd, another black man, was killed during an arrest in May last year.
