Former Brooklyn Center police officer Kim Potter will be on trial for the April 2021 shooting death of Daunte Wright. Police were attempting to take Wright, a 20-year-old Black man, into custody after pulling him over for having expired tabs when Potter, who is white, pulled out her gun and shot him once in the chest. Body camera footage captured the incident, and Potter later said she had meant to pull out her Taser instead of her firearm.

Potter faces both first and second-degree manslaughter charges in the death of Wright. She was initially charged only with second-degree manslaughter, which requires a finding that she acted with “culpable negligence” in Wright’s death.
