‘He was either going to be imprisoned, kill someone, or be killed.’ How Daunte Wright led a life of crime & violence before his death and shot a friend in the head, broke into a neighbor’s home, and robbed a woman at gunpoint

Before Daunte Wright was shot and killed by Minnesota police officer Kim Potter, he terrorized his local neighborhood for several years, leaving victims and their families with a lifetime’s worth of trauma and suffering.

Through court records and interviews with the victims, DailyMail.com can exclusively report that Wright had led a life of crime and violence before his death, having been involved in the shooting of two of his school friends, a home burglary, and had previously assaulted and robbed a young woman at gunpoint.

Wright, 20, was shot dead on April 11 after officer Kim Potter reached for her gun instead of her taser during a botched traffic stop in Brooklyn Center.
