MINNEAPOLIS — One person is dead and a Minneapolis police officer was in the hospital Tuesday morning after the pursuit of an armed robbery suspect led to a crash.
On Wednesday, the Hennepin County Medical Examiner identified the innocent driver who was killed as 40-year-old Leneal Lamont Frazier.
Also Wednesday, an MPD incident report identified the officer involved as Brian Cummings. KARE 11 Investigates looked into Officer Cummings’ past with the department and uncovered federal court documents that show Cummings and another MPD officer were sued for using a taser on a man with mental illness. The officers denied wrongdoing, and the City settled the case for $10,000.
