MINNEAPOLIS – Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty is addressing a crash involving a vehicle fleeing the State Patrol Friday night in south Minneapolis that killed five young women.
Moriarty said the community is grieving the loss of five bright young people whose lives were cut short in a senseless, selfish act of reckless driving. Moriarty also said a leaked video of the crash was an unauthorized release, the second time in less than a month that a graphic video has been leaked in the opening days of an ongoing investigation.
Moriarty said leaks like this deeply impact the family and loved ones of the victims and undermine community trust in the criminal legal system.
The Minneapolis Police Department, the mayor, and Metro Transit are looking into how the video got leaked.
