Brooklyn Center: Daunte Wright Memorial with Protest Area Sign

The Daunte Wright Memorial, illuminated by holiday lights, stands behind temporary fencing and concrete barriers in Brooklyn Center, Minnesota. This memorial marks the site where Daunte Wright was fatally shot by Brooklyn Center Police Officer Kim Potter on April 11, 2021. The area, adjacent to the Brooklyn Center Police Department, became a focal point for protests and remembrance in the days and months following Wright's death, particularly as the trial for Officer Potter commenced. A sign indicates the designated protest area and requests that demonstrations conclude by 9:30 PM, acknowledging the presence of local families and children.
