BROOKLYN CENTER, Minnesota-As the prosecution in the murder trial of fired Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin brings its case to an end, a 20-year-old Black man in Minnesota was shot by a White police officer and died following a traffic stop on Sunday in the Minneapolis suburb of Brooklyn Center, drawing hundreds of protesters to the streets Sunday night as protesters clashed with police. (Editor's note: Chauvin is White and on trial for killing George Floyd, who was Black, on May 25 following an arrest and faces charges of second degree intentional murder, third degree murder, and second degree manslaughter. Three other police officers at the scene who were also fired await trial on lesser charges).
Sunday's incident in Brooklyn Center occurred some 10 miles from where Chauvin killed George Floyd, CNN reports, and has ignited outcries regarding excessive force by police against Black people, mainly Black men.
