The site of the incident where protesters were gathered is near the location of the fatal law enforcement shooting of Winston Smith on June 3.

One person died and another was injured after a man drove into a road blockade set up by protesters in the Uptown area of Minneapolis late Sunday night, according to the Minneapolis Police Department.

Police say the incident occurred at about 11:39 p.m. as police were monitoring on camera a protest in the area of West Lake Street and Girard Avenue South in Minneapolis. Police say they observed a vehicle traveling eastbound on Lake Street drive into a group of protesters.

Protesters then reportedly pulled the driver out of the vehicle and began to strike him, an MPD press release states. Other online reports and recorded dispatch audio seem to confirm that a person, who the observing officer referred to as a “victim,” was being choked out by one of the protesters.
