https://minnesota.cbslocal.com/2021/06/14/woman-killed-after-driver-plows-into-protesters-in-uptown/MINNEAPOLIS (AP/WCCO) A woman was killed and three others hurt after an SUV plowed into a group of protesters Sunday night in Uptown.
The Minneapolis Police Department said the suspect was pulled from his vehicle by protestors after the 11:39 p.m. crash and is now in custody and being treated for injuries at a hospital. An Instagram video shot by protesters shows the man being pulled from the SUV and held by protesters until officers arrived to take him into custody.

Hennepin County Jail roster records show that a 35-year-old St. Paul man was arrested early Monday in Minneapolis on suspicion of criminal vehicular homicide, driving after having his license suspended, and giving false information to police. WCCO-TV does not typically name suspects until theyve been officially charged with a crime.
The crash happened at the intersection of West Lake Street and Girard Avenue South. The car was travelling east on Lake Street when it slammed into a group of protesters. Emergency crews brought two injured protesters to Hennepin Healthcare for treatment. Two others later sought medical attention for non-life-threatening injuries at area hospitals.
A woman, who was critically injured in the crash, died from her injuries. Her name has yet to be released.

This happened two blocks from our condo. Uptown is becoming a real shitshow.

The mans motive was not immediately known. According to investigators, preliminary information suggests that drugs and alcohol could have played a role.

Is it Mike Freeman prosecuting or is Keith Ellison stepping in again?

At the moment they are accepting the story that the protest was not targeted pet se, it was just a regular drunk driving murder
