The police shooting of Daunte Wright in suburban Minneapolis on Sunday weighed heavily on Public Advocate Jumaane Williams’ mind Tuesday as he announced a summertime effort to combat gun violence in New York.
Wright, 20, was shot and killed during a traffic stop in Brooklyn Center, Minnesota. The police officer who pulled the trigger and her chief have since resigned, but the incident reignited calls across the country for police reform and an end to racial injustice in law enforcement.
