Protesters in Philadelphia demanded justice for Daunte Wright, a 20-year-old from Brooklyn Center, Minnesota who police there killed Sunday night.

Delaware County is the 8th in the state to join a program launched in Western Pa. by AG Shapiro in 2018. It’s the first county to do so in the Philly suburbs.

The prosecution rested its case Tuesday after 11 days of testimony and a mountain of video evidence.

Brooklyn Center Police Chief Tim Gannon described Sunday's shooting death of 20-year-old Daunte Wright as “an accidental discharge.”

Earlier Monday, the judge refused a defense request to immediately sequester the jury, the morning after the killing of a Black man during a traffic stop triggered unrest.

Daunte Wright's death sparked protests as Minneapolis was already on edge and midway through Derek Chauvin's murder trial over the killing of George Floyd.

Philly police want city residents to help prepare them for community responses to the Chauvin verdict after their botched responses last year’s unrest.

On Thursday, medical experts testified at Chauvin’s murder trial, emphatically rejecting the defense theory that Floyd's drug use and underlying health problems killed him.

Before five officers fired on James Alexander, police said they pulled over the car he was in after the driver failed to halt at a stop sign.

A medical expert says George Floyd died from a lack of oxygen, which damaged his brain and caused his heart to stop.

The ordeal began at 6:45 p.m. Wednesday on the 1500 block of Somerville Avenue when police pulled over a blue Kia sedan with three men and a woman inside.

Attorney General Gurbir Grewal said in a statement that the new site is part of an ongoing effort to increase police accountability and openness.

Derek Chauvin, 45, is charged with murder and manslaughter in George Floyd’s death.

Jurors at the murder trial of ex-Minneapolis police Officer Derek Chauvin have been told that he received extensive training in how to defuse tense situations.

As recent attacks against Asian Americans have pushed incidents of racism and violence into the spotlight, the case of Christian Hall is getting more attention.
