A woman was killed and three people were injured when a car rammed into a group of protesters in the Minneapolis neighborhood where a Black man was fatally shot this month during an attempted arrest, police said Monday.<\/p>\n

Just before midnight\u00a0Sunday, the suspect drove a\u00a0car into the crowd and was pulled from the vehicle before being arrested, the Minneapolis police department said on Twitter.\u00a0A statement from police said a preliminary investigation indicated that the use of drugs or alcohol by the driver may be a contributing factor in the crash.<\/p>\n

A woman was pronounced dead at the hospital after the crash and three people\u00a0were treated and released for non life-threatening injuries.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve never seen anything that horrendous,\u201d Zachery James, 28, told the New York Times at the scene, where several people remained for hours. \u201cI watched her body fly.\u201d<\/p>\n

The city has been on edge since the death of George Floyd more than a year ago and the fatal police shooting of Daunte Wright during the trial of former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin, who was found guilty on all counts in Floyd’s murder. There have been multiple protests in Minneapolis’ Uptown neighborhood after Winston Smith Jr,\u00a0a 32-year-old Black father of three,\u00a0was fatally shot by two sheriff’s deputies on June 3.<\/p>\n

The deputies \u2013\u00a0one from Hennepin County and one from Ramsey County \u2013\u00a0were part of a\u00a0U.S. Marshals Service task force that was attempting to arrest Smith\u00a0on a warrant for illegal possession of a firearm, according to a statement from the agency.\u00a0Smith, who was parked in\u00a0a car, “failed to comply with officers\u2019 commands” and “produced a handgun resulting in task force members firing upon the subject,”\u00a0the statement said.<\/p>\n

From last year: <\/strong>Cars have hit demonstrators 104 times since George Floyd protests began<\/span><\/p>\n

The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, which is leading the investigation into the shooting,\u00a0said a handgun and spent cartridge found inside the car indicate Smith\u00a0also fired his gun.\u00a0A woman who was with Smith said through her attorneys\u00a0that she never saw Smith display a gun,\u00a0contradicting law enforcement’s narrative of the shooting.<\/p>\n

Smith’s family and protesters have called for transparency and the release of any video of the shooting, but the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension\u00a0said it is unaware of any video of the incident and the names of the deputies involved will not be released because they were working undercover.<\/p>\n
