Woman killed and two others injured after being struck by car during protest in Upton on Sunday night, Minneapolis Police Department says.
MINNEAPOLIS -- A woman was killed and two others were injured after being struck by a car during a protest in Upton on Sunday night, the Minneapolis Police Department tweeted early Monday morning.
There had been ongoing protests in Upton after the shooting June 3 of Winston Boogie Smith Jr., a 32-year-old father of three. Members of the U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force were trying to arrest Smith on a warrant for allegedly being a felon in possession of a gun, authorities said. The Marshals Service said in a statement that Smith, who was in a parked vehicle, didn’t comply with law enforcement and “produced a handgun resulting in task force members firing upon the subject.”
