‘Systems in place continue to fail them’: Community calls for accountability in Mariah Samuels’ death

More than a year after a Minneapolis woman was killed by her ex-boyfriend, the city council is looking at the missed warning signs.

On Wednesday afternoon, the council heard public comment from those who knew Mariah Samuels and are pushing for new accountability in her death.

Family members say she repeatedly sought help from police, obtained a protection order and reported violations by her ex-boyfriend, David Wright. Her last call for help came on the morning she was killed.

Wright was found guilty in Samuels’ death earlier this year.
