“A woman was killed and two others were injured after being struck by a car during a protest in Minneapolis’ Uptown neighborhood, police said Monday. The suspect was pulled from his car by protesters after the 11:39 p.m. Sunday crash and is now in custody and being treated for injuries at a hospital, police said on Twitter. Police did not say how the man was hurt or give the extent of his injuries. His motive was not immediately known. There had been ongoing protests in Uptown since the June 3 shooting of Winston Boogie Smith Jr., a 32-year-old father of three, by members of a federal U.S. Marshals Service task force” the AP reports.
“Members of the U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force were trying to arrest Smith on a warrant for allegedly being a felon in possession of a gun, authorities said. The Marshals Service said in a statement that Smith, who was in a parked vehicle, didn’t comply with law enforcement and ‘produced a handgun resulting in task force members firing upon the subject.’ Smith died at the scene. State investigators said Smith’s passenger, a 27-year-old woman, was treated for injuries from glass debris. The woman, however, said she never saw a gun on Smith or in the vehicle, her attorneys said last week – contradicting investigators’ claims about Smith’s actions.”
Twitter users have identified the deceased white victim as 31 year old Deona Marie, who would have celebrated her 32nd birthday on Wednesday. The attacker is also white, though his identity is unknown at this time (some sources say his name is ‘Frank Adam Lincoln’, though this is almost certainly incorrect due to a misinterpretation of police scanner chatter of his license plate number). He does however appear to be a white trash Trump fan given his tattoos and clothing.
