Wright Mount Pleasantâs police chief called the killing of Daunte Wright âa catastrophic mistake, a disaster.â A Racine police sergeant said it was âa terrible tragedy.â Nearly identical statements from the chiefs of the Sturtevant and Waterford police departments said they were âshockedâ of the death of Daunte Wright during an attempted arrest in Minnesota. Wright, a 20-year-old black man, was killed Sunday in Brooklyn Center, Minnesota, a city of 30,600 that shares a border with Minneapolis, bringing large protests back to the Twin Cities even as ex-Minneapolis officer Derek Chauvin remains on trial for the May 25, 2020, death of George Floyd.
