Target Center secured with fencing during Chauvin trial

The Target Center in Minneapolis, a multi-purpose arena, was secured with fencing and concrete barriers during the trial of Derek Chauvin in April 2021. This measure was implemented to enhance security and prevent potential unrest, mirroring precautions taken at other city-owned properties. The arena, which hosts sporting events and concerts, became a focal point of heightened security due to its proximity to the courthouse and the national attention surrounding the trial.
