Several dozen Brooklyn Center, Minnesota community members came together for a reflective vigil on Wednesday afternoon calling for action after the loss of Daunte Wright, a 20-year-old man killed during a traffic stop on Sunday, April 11.
“We got to put our differences aside and fight for this family,” one man who was present said.
Those speaking next to the raised fist statue covered in flowers next to 63rd Avenue were calling protestors to continue to support the Wright family, their needs during this time, and to not forget Wright's story.

Wright’s sister, Destiny Wright, spoke to those gathered while the family wrapped themselves in hugs mourning the loss of their son and brother.
“My brother just being in his presence uplifted my spirit,” Destiny said. “I love my brother so much and this is unbelievable, this is unreal...I feel him here, but in reality, he’s gone and I can’t never see him in person again, can never feel my brother and give him a hug.”
