Daunte Wright Spent Final Moments Talking With His Mother

“I just seen and heard the fear in his voice,” she said. Mr. Wright was a young father who loved basketball and, in the tightknit world of Minneapolis, had a connection to George Floyd.

MINNEAPOLIS — Daunte Wright called his mother. The tremble in his voice told her something was wrong. The police had stopped him, he told her nervously. “He’s afraid of the police, and I just seen and heard the fear in his voice,” said his mother, Katie Wright. She tried to keep him calm, as he spoke with her on the phone on Sunday while he was being pulled over in the Minneapolis suburb of Brooklyn Center.
