Uncle of Darnella Frazier, teen who filmed George Floyd’s murder, killed in Minneapolis police car crash
The uncle of Darnella Frazier, the teen who filmed the murder of George Floyd, was killed in a crash involving a police squad car in Minneapolis.

The uncle of Darnella Frazier, the teen who filmed the murder of George Floyd, was killed in a crash involving a police squad car in Minneapolis, CBS Minnesota reported Tuesday.
Authorities said a police vehicle was chasing after a carjacking and robbery suspect just after midnight Tuesday July 6.
Police say the person they were chasing got away, and a man driving a different car was killed.
Family members identified the driver of the car as Leneal Frazier.
His niece, Darnella, wrote a Facebook post about his death, saying she feels “so hurt.”
The younger Frazier, whose compelling video evidence helped convict former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin, directed her frustration after the loss of her uncle.
“Minneapolis police has cost my whole family a big loss…We went to the spot he was killed at and put beautiful flowers and candles, but even thats not enough to bring him back,” she said. “It’s not fair how the police can just go around killing people…WHY ARE YOU DOING A HIGH SPEED CHASE ON A RESIDENTIAL RODE??? you took an innocent life trying to catch someone else… I don’t know how to feel.”
The officer in the crash was treated and released from a local hospital, according to reports.
The second driver was also treated, but he is recovering at home. The Minnesota State Patrol is investigating the crash.

Leneal Frazier was the father of six children and grandfather of one, according to a GoFundMe created to help the family.
His sister, Cheryl Frazier, said the crash took the life of a good man.
“He was a very good person, he would help you if you needed help, he’ll give you the shirt off his back if he had to,” she said. “He was always that type of person.”
