    The passenger in the vehicle of Daunte Wright when he was killed
    during a routine traffic stop last year is suing the City of
    Brooklyn Center and ex-officer Kim Potter, who fired the fatal
    shot.

    Alayna Albrecht-Payton, 21 of St. Paul, is seeking more than
    $150,000 in damages from April 11, 2021, when Potter claimed she
    mistook her firearm as a Taser and shot Wright. The vehicle he
    was driving accelerated, lost control and crashed into another
    SUV. The lawsuit says Albrecht-Payton was physically injured in
    the crash and still suffers from PTSD after watching Wright die
    from Potter's unlawful use of a firearm, the lawsuit said.

    Potter was later convicted of manslaughter and sentenced to a
    two-years prison term in June. The city of Brooklyn Center
    agreed to pay a $3.25 million settlement to Wright's family.

    "Albrecht-Payton was a blameless witness to a horribly traumatic
    event, which a lot of people heard her testify to in the felony
    trial. And she has suffered some significant and permanent
    injuries, including the broken jaw, and the cuts, and just
    scared inside and out from this event," her attorney Kathryn
    Bennett said in a phone interview Monday.

    The law firm representing Brooklyn Center, listed as Kennedy and
    Graven Chartered, did not immediately respond to requests for
    comment. Bloomington attorney Jason Hiveley, who is representing
    Potter, did not return requests for comment.

    "Potter endangered Alayna's safety— and that of a fellow
    Brooklyn Center police officer assisting with the traffic
    stop—when she shot Daunte mere inches away from Alayna and the
    other officer," the lawsuit said.

    Albrecht-Payton "bore the brunt of the impact" when Wright's
    vehicle crashed in the SUV after the shooting.

    "Despite her own injuries, Alayna spent the final moments of
    Daunte's life desperately trying to save him as he gasped for
    air," the lawsuit states. Rather than receive help, responding
    officers held Albrecht-Payton at gun point and placed her in
    handcuffs."

    Potter did not render aid to Albrecht-Payton or Wright, thereby
    neglecting her duty as well as failing to communicate with other
    officers, the lawsuit said.

    "Potter worried only about the consequences to herself. She
    walked over to the curb, sat down, and started wailing. She drew
    her fellow officers' attention to herself and away from
    responding to the crisis she created. Officer [Anthony] Luckey
    patted her back as she lay face down on the grass, expressing
    her concern that she was 'going to prison.'"

    Albrecht-Payton underwent surgery for her broken jaw the week
    after the shooting and had four 8-mm screws wire her mouth shut.
    She struggles to adjust her now-slanted jaw and her teeth are
    not aligned.

    In the days after the shooting, she lost her appetite and was
    severely malnourished. About two weeks later, she became so
    delirious from stress and trauma that she called 911.

    "She believed someone was outside the house shooting at her that
    morning. Her mother reported that Alayna had not been eating or
    drinking for the last four days," the lawsuit states.

    The bodily and mental harm she suffered "are a direct and
    foreseeable consequence of Potter's negligent conduct." The City
    of Brooklyn Center is liable for Potter's conduct as an officer
    for the city's police department at the time she shot and killed
    Wright

    The lawsuit states that Albrecht-Payton replays the images from
    the shooting in her head every day.

    "She had flashbacks and nightmares about Daunte's death. The bad
    dreams came to her every night. They were vivid—like
    hallucinations," the lawsuit said.

    But she was okay when they wuz robbing liquor stores, doing
    drugs and throwing shit at police officers during the riots.
