Darnella Frazier – the teenager who recorded the viral bystander of George Floyd on May 25, 2020 – said in a Facebook post Tuesday that her uncle was the innocent driver killed when a Minneapolis police squad car struck his uninvolved vehicle during a high-speed pursuit chasing a robbery suspect.
Leneal Lamont Frazier, 40, was killed in a wreck that happened at about 12:30 a.m. Tuesday at 41st and Lyndale avenues north in the Camden neighborhood when a Minneapolis police car plowed into him and a second vehicle at the intersection. The crash happened while officers were pursuing a stolen vehicle believed to have been taken during a carjacking and linked to robberies at multiple businesses, police spokesman John Elder told the Minneapolis Star Tribune. Officers spotted the stolen vehicle at North Sixth Street and Lowry Avenue and attempted to conduct a traffic stop – but the driver fled. A police squad car, traveling northbound on Lyndale, struck Frazier’s Jeep traveling westbound through the intersection at 41st. The police vehicle then entered the southbound lane and hit another car – though that driver was not injured.More Related News
