MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. — The suburban Minneapolis city of Brooklyn Center has tentatively agreed to pay $3.25 million to settle a wrongful death lawsuit brought by the family of Daunte Wright, the unarmed Black man who was fatally shot during a 2021 traffic stop when a white police officer says she mistook her handgun for a stun gun.
The development was announced Tuesday by attorneys for Wright's family, who said the pending agreement includes reforms in Brooklyn Center police policies and training involving traffic stops like the one that led to the death of the 20-year-old Wright.
The parents added,"We hope Black families, people of color, and all residents feel safer now in Brooklyn Center because of the changes the city must make to resolve our claims." After stopping Wright, who was with his girlfriend, police learned of a warrant for him for an outstanding weapons violation. Wright was ordered out of his vehicle and struggled with police when they attempted to handcuff him.
