Darnella Frazier's Uncle Killed by Officer Pursuing Suspect in High-Speed Chase 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Minneapolis, Darnella Frazier - the teenager whose recording of
George Floyd's murder was seen around the world - says her uncle was
struck and killed by a police car during a car chase. Her uncle,
40-year-old Leneal Lamont Frazier, was not involved in the chase.
Darnella Frazier said of the tragedy, "Another Black man lost his life
in the hands of the police! … [T]oday has been a day full of heartbreak
and sadness. … [T]he police made a bad decision by doing a high speed
chase on a residential road. That bad decision cost my uncle his life."
