Candles arranged in a heart shape on the lawn of the Hennepin County Government Center in Minneapolis serve as a memorial during the trial of Kim Potter. Potter, a former Brooklyn Center police officer, was charged in the April 2021 shooting death of Daunte Wright. The trial, which began with jury selection in late 2021, drew significant public attention and protests in the city. The Government Center is a prominent civic building in downtown Minneapolis, housing various county offices and courtrooms.
