Former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin was found guilty in the murder of George Floyd on Tuesday. Chauvin was found guilty on all three charges of second-degree murder, third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter. The jury reached its verdict after approximately 10 hours of deliberation.
On May 25, 2020, Floyd, a 46-year-old unarmed Black man, was stopped by Minneapolis police outside of a local grocery store and pinned to the ground. Chauvin placed his knee on Floyd's neck while restraining him for more than nine minutes, ultimately killing Floyd. The medical examiner ruled Floyd's death a homicide.
