A recently unsealed civil lawsuit filed by the mother of Caleb Livingston claims Daunte Wright, whose death became a rallying cry for the anti-police violence movement following his death in April, shot Livingston in the head in May 2019, when he was 16.
Livingston was shot at a petrol station in Minneapolis and the wound left him in a vegetative state, Jennifer LeMay claims in the lawsuit, originally filed on May 4 under seal. A judge recently ruled the case could be unsealed.
A memorandum filed in the case cited by KARE 11, a Minneapolis news outlet, claims Wright and Livingston were childhood friends before having a falling out. Livingston’s “first sleep over as a boy was at Wright’s home”.
“Oh, that’s a problem,” Umberger replied as he kept his cellphone focused on Johnson.
In the back seat, DeLand Police Capt. Prurince Dice, playing the part of a recalcitrant passenger, wasn’t having any of it. Dice accused Johnson of fabricating the stop.
“He lying. He lying. I want to see the radar,” Dice said.
“Officer” Johnson turned his attention to Dice and broke from standard procedure for a traffic stop.
“Who is your barber?” Johnson asked Dice, and he didn’t mean it as a compliment. That caused Dice and the room of about 18 students to fill with laughter.
The prosecutor on the case of the shooting death of Daunte Wright has resigned, citing “vitriol” and divisive politics that make the job of getting to the truth near impossible.
