"he said they pulled him over because he had air fresheners hanging from his rearview mirror." "i said when the police officer comes back to the window . . . i will give him the insurance information. then i heard the police officer come to the window and say, 'put the phone down and get out of your car.' and daunte said, 'why?' and he said, 'we'll explain to when you get out of the car.'" "i heard the phone either get put on the dashboard or dropped, and i heard scuffling, and i heard the police officer say, daunte, don't run,' and then the other officer said, 'put the phone down' and hung it up" before his girlfriend called her crying and showed his lifeless body in the driver's seat. she said she "asked them to please take my son off the ground," but police at the scene said the body could not be moved until the bureau of criminal apprehension arrived.
