The news site reports that Darnella Frazier made a post on Facebook Tuesday night, revealing that her uncle, Leneal Lamont Frazier, had been killed after his car collided with a Minneapolis police vehicle. She added that the police “took an innocent life trying to catch someone else.” She went on to say, “I honestly can’t believe I’m making this post right now…I’m so hurt…nothing feels real,” she wrote.
In a statement, Minneapolis police said that an officer was pursuing the driver of a carjacked vehicle involved in multiple robberies when the officer’s car collided with another car. While the officer was treated for serious but non-life-threatening injuries, the other driver died shortly after arriving at the hospital, police said. As of right now, police have not yet released the identity of the man who was killed.
As we previously reported, Frazier, was the teen who went to a Minneapolis convenience store in May 2020 and spotted officers restraining George Floyd. She filmed the incident and her video and courtroom testimony played a role in the conviction of a former police officer, Derek Chauvin. She was later awarded a Pulitzer Prize special citation last month for her viral video.
