We’re getting a first look at the deadly crash with a police squad car that killed a man early Tuesday, in surveillance video from a north Minneapolis gas station.

Video obtained by KARE-TV shows the intersection of Lyndale and 41st avenues as a police chase streaks through the intersection just after midnight.

The video from two cameras at the gas station shows nearby traffic slowing and stopping as the chase approached northbound on Lyndale. It shows the car police said an officer had tried to stop, and was pursuing, speed through the intersection as another vehicle approached from the east.

Police said the officer had been pursuing a carjacking and robbery suspect, and department policy required the squad’s lights and siren be activated — and the new video indicates there will likely be body camera video as well.

The crash killed 40-year-old Leneal Frazier, uncle of Darnella Frazier, the teen who recorded video of the Minneapolis police killing of George Floyd last year.

The attorney for the family of George Floyd announced Thursday that he’d also been retained by Frazier’s family, who said, quote, “The Frazier family and the Minneapolis community are mourning the loss of yet another Black life because of the irresponsible actions and failings of the Minneapolis Police Department.”
