Daunte Wright was "just gasping" after being shot in car, his girlfriend testifies
CBSN
The woman who was riding with Daunte Wright when he was pulled over by police testified Thursday about the chaos right after an officer shot him, saying she screamed at Wright trying to get a response but that he "wasn't answering me and he was just gasping."
"I grabbed whatever was in the car. I don't remember if it was a sweater or a towel or something … and put it on his chest like you see in movies and TV shows," Alayna Albrecht-Payton, who was Wright's girlfriend, testified. "I didn't know what to do."
Albrecht-Payton answered Wright's cellphone as his mother tried frantically to reestablish contact that she had with him right before the shooting. Wright's mother, Katie Bryant, testified tearfully on Wednesday that she first saw her son's apparently lifeless body via that video call.
