A Man Has Been Charged With Murder After Driving Through Protesters In Minneapolis

A Minnesota man has been charged with intentional second-degree murder after driving while drunk into a group of people protesting police brutality, according to a criminal complaint filed Wednesday.

Nicholas David Kraus, 35, purposefully accelerated into a barricade that was blocking off the street where the protesters were gathered Sunday night to protest the death of Winston Smith, a Black man killed by undercover sheriff's deputies on June 3, according to the complaint.
