The Washington County Attorney s Office will handle the charging decision in connection to the fatal police shooting of Daunte Wright in Brooklyn Center on Sunday, April 11.
Hennepin County Attorney Mike Freeman in a statement Monday said five metro-area counties adopted a new practice last year for police use of force cases to avoid the appearance of mishandling of a case.
The new practice has the county attorney in the jurisdiction where the incident happened refer the case to one of the other county attorneys or the state attorney general.

Fresh protests broke out Monday in Minneapolis despite a curfew implemented after a police officer fatally shot a young Black man, fueling tensions in a US city already on edge because of the George Floyd murder trial.
Dozens of protesters waved signs and chanted slogans in front of the police station in Brooklyn Center, the suburb where Sunday’s killing occurred.
Demonstrators taunted police through newly erected wire fencing around the station, and carried signs saying “Jail all racist killer cops,” “Am I next?” and “No justice, no peace.”
