Daunte Wright, a 20-year-old Black man from Minnesota was murdered on Sunday after a police officer pulled him over for a traffic violation. In an attempt to take in Wright after realizing he had an outstanding warrant for his arrest, it is being said that the officer meant to use her Taser but accidentally fired her gun.

Police in Brooklyn Center, Minnesota are saying that Wright's attempt to reenter his car prompted the police fire.

Body camera footage of the Sunday incident was released for the first time on Monday during a news conference. Footage of the killing shows Wright outside of his car when authorities were attempting to place him under arrest. At one point, in the footage he can be seen attempting to reenter his vehicle, prompting a struggle with officers.

"I'll tase ya," a woman officer told Wright in the video after he attempted to kick her. "Taser, Taser, Taser!" the officer is heard yelling in the video before saying "Oh shit! I just shot him."

Potter has since been arrested on a charge of second-degree manslaughter.

The 48-year-old resigned from the Brooklyn Center Police Department three days after she shot Wright. She has since bonded out on $100,000 bail. and is currently facing a maximum possible sentence of 10 years in prison if convicted.

During a news conference, members of Wright's family spoke about holding Potter responsible.

Katie Wright, Daunte's mother, underlined We're still never going to be able to see our baby boy that we're never going to have again... So when people say justice, I just shake my head."

According to Brooklyn Center Police Chief Tim Gannon, the officer meant to reach for her Taser.

Instead, she grabbed her gun.

"This appears to me, from what I viewed and the officer’s reaction and distress immediately after, that this was an accidental discharge that resulted in the tragic death of Mr. Wright," Gannon claimed.

The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension has identified the officer in the incident as Kim Potter, a 26-year veteran of the police department. Potter is now on administrative leave.

Speaking about her standing, Gannon said “I think we can watch the video and ascertain whether she will be returning."

Brooklyn Center Mayor Mike Elliott publicly supported Potter's termination.

"My position is that we cannot afford to make mistakes that lead to the loss of life of other people in our profession, so I do fully support releasing the officer of her duties," he explained before revealing that the officers initiated the traffic stop after clocking an expired registration tag on the car's vehicle. When they ran Wright's name they learned that he had a warrant out for his arrest. "That’s why they were moving from the car and they were making custodial arrest."

Gannon went onto explain that the only information he had about the arrest warrant was that it was attached to a "gross misdemeanor warrant."
