The man killed when he was caught up in a violent crash involving a Minneapolis police squad car pursuing a robbery suspect was the uncle of Darnella Frazier, who filmed the death of George Floyd.
Frazier said in a Facebook post Tuesday evening that Leneal Lamont Frazier who was not involved in the chase died when his vehicle was struck by the squad as it pursued another vehicle.
She questioned why police were involved in a high-speed chase on a residential road. Another black man lost his life in the hands of the police! wrote Frazier, who was awarded a Pulitzer Prize special citation for capturing video of Floyd s death. Minneapolis police has cost my whole family a big loss … today has been a day full of heartbreak and sadness.

MINNEAPOLIS â The south Minneapolis intersection where George Floyd was killed by police is being cleared Thursday morning of much of a sprawling memorial, a city official said.
Municipal workers began the process about 4:30 a.m.at 38th and Chicago â dubbed George Floyd Square â with community representatives playing a role in coordinating the removal of flowers, artwork and variously sized barriers and shacks, said city spokeswoman Sarah McKenzie.
McKenzie said that playing a key role in the transition is Agape, a peacekeeping force whose staff includes ex-gang members from the neighborhood, is on contract with the city to keep watch over the area.

City crews on Thursday removed vehicle barriers and portable toilets, reopening portions of the sprawling memorial at the south Minneapolis intersection where George Floyd was murdered by police more than a year ago. But as soon as workers finished, protesters began parking cars and piling pallets to barricade the streets once again.
At a news conference, Mayor Jacob Frey said the phased reconnection of 38th Street and Chicago Avenue with the rest of the city had been planned for months but wasn t yet complete. He declined to say when he thought traffic would flow again. I acknowledge that it will be a bit touch and go and difficult over the next several days, Frey said.
