Crump announced Monday that he will represent the family of the 20-year-old Daunte Wright, who was shot dead by police during a traffic stop on Sunday. 

Crump also represents the family of Floyd, who died in May after former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin knelt on his neck for more than eight minutes. 

Chauvin’s trial began in April and closing arguments are expected next week.
