How they died
Deadly force
Officers pulled over Daunte Wright for an alleged traffic violation related to expired registration tags. Officers then reportedly discovered that he had a warrant for his arrest. Police tried to arrest Wright, but he stepped back into his car, and officers struggled with him. Officer Kim Potter, 48, shouted, "Taser," and then shot and killed Wright with her duty weapon. Potter resigned from the police and was arrested and faces a charge of second-degree manslaughter.
