The family of Daunte Wright is demanding more severe charges against the former police officer who fatally shot the Black 20-year-old during a traffic stop in the Minneapolis suburb of Brooklyn Center.
“Unfortunately, there’s never going to be justice for us,” Wright’s mother, Katie Wright, said during a press conference on Thursday. The justice would bring our son home to us, knocking on the door with his big smile. Coming in the house, sitting down, eating dinner with us. Going out to lunch. Playing with his almost 2-year-old son, giving him a kiss as he walked out the door. So, justice isn t even a word to me. I do want accountability.”
