Kimberly Ann Potter[Hennepin County Jail]
A former Brooklyn Center police officer charged with second-degree manslaughter in Daunte Wright’s death is scheduled to appear in court via videoconference.
Former officer Kim Potter has an omnibus hearing, also known as a pretrial hearing, Monday afternoon in Hennepin County.
The hearing is to go over evidence and determine if there is probable cause for a case to proceed.
Wright was a 20-year-old Black motorist who was killed April 11 after a traffic stop.
The former Brooklyn Center police chief has said he believes Potter meant to use her Taser on Wright but fired her handgun instead.
