Minneapolis Protest Site: Lake St & Girard Ave Night

A memorial for Deona Marie is visible at the intersection of Lake Street and Girard Avenue in Minneapolis. Protesters have maintained a presence at this location since the law enforcement shooting death of Winston Smith on June 3, 2021, and the subsequent killing of Deona Marie on June 13, 2021, when Nicholas Kraus drove his vehicle into a crowd of demonstrators. The site, marked by candles, flowers, and street art, serves as a focal point for ongoing activism and remembrance in the Uptown Minneapolis neighborhood.
