Protests have taken place six nights in a row in Brooklyn Center, Minnesota, where 20-year-old Daunte Wright was fatally shot by a police officer during a traffic stop.

Some of the demonstrations have turned violent, with police clashing with protesters outside of the Brooklyn Center Police Department.

Wright, a Black man, was killed Sunday by a police officer, identified by authorities as Kim Potter, during a routine traffic stop. Police have described it as an accidental shooting, saying the officer intended to deploy a Taser but instead fired a gun.

Potter submitted a resignation letter on Tuesday, and she was charged Wednesday with second-degree manslaughter.

Brooklyn Center Police Chief Tim Gannon told reporters that Wright was originally pulled over for an expired tag and that when officers approached his car, they saw an item hanging from the rearview mirror. Officers ran Wright's name and found a gross misdemeanor warrant, Gannon said.
