Law enforcement officers from the Brooklyn Center Police Department, Hennepin County Sheriff's Office, Minnesota State Patrol, and the National Guard established a perimeter around the Brooklyn Center Police Department. This action followed the death of Daunte Wright, a 20-year-old man who was fatally shot by a Brooklyn Center police officer during a traffic stop on April 11th. The presence of multiple law enforcement agencies and the National Guard indicated a significant response to the ensuing community protests.
