<p>Daunte Wright, a 20-year-old Black man, was fatally shot during a traffic stop in Minnesota. Protests have started following reports of Wright&#8217;s death, with tear gas and curfews reportedly being imposed in Brooklyn Center, where Wright was <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/pharrell-williams-spent-his-birthday-honoring-cousin-killed-by-police-news.129787.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">killed</a>. &#8220;Be safe, go home,&#8221; reportedly said the mayor. </p>
<p>A woman who identified herself as Wright&#8217;s mother says that the 20-year-old was pulled over because of air fresheners hanging in his rearview mirror. In a police statement, Brooklyn Center authorities claim that the driver <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/nba-youngboys-federal-warrant-was-connected-to-september-arrest-report-news.128953.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">had an outstanding warrant</a>. When they allegedly tried to arrest him, Wright reportedly re-entered his vehicle. Then, an officer shot Wright before he drove away and struck a vehicle a couple of blocks away. Wright reportedly was pronounced dead at the scene. A woman in the passenger seat reportedly suffered minor injuries.</p>
