The police officer who shot the young African-American man in the chest Daunte Wright last Sunday during a traffic stop in Brooklyn Center, Minnesota, will face charges of involuntary manslaughter in the second degree.

Washington County Attorney Pete Orput announced the charges Wednesday.

Wright’s family and their legal team have already outright rejected the police version , ruling out that it is an “accident”.

I can’t accept that. I lost my son. It will never come back. This police officer has been in the body for more than years. I can’t accept that, “said Aubrey Wright, Daunte’s father, on ABC’s” Good Morning America “on Tuesday.
