NDO FERREIRA LUIS ESPINIZA GEORGE FLOYD

On May 25, 2020, George Floyd, an African-American man, died in Powderhorn, a neighborhood south of

downtown Minneapolis, Minnesota. While Floyd was handcuffed and lying face down on a city street during an
arrest, Derek Chauvin, a white Minneapolis police officer, kept his knee on the right side of Floyd's neck for
8 minutes and 46 seconds; according to the criminal complaint against Chauvin, 2 minutes and 53 seconds of that
time occurred after Floyd became unresponsive. Preliminary results from the official autopsy found no indication
that Floyd died of strangulation or traumatic asphyxia, but that the combined effects of being restrained, underlying
health conditions, including coronary artery disease and hypertensive heart disease, and potential intoxicants in his
system likely contributed to his death. Attorneys for Floyd's family announced that they have requested an
independent autopsy.
The incident was recorded on the smartphones of several bystanders and later circulated on social media. The arrest
was made after an employee at a deli filed a police complaint accusing Floyd of using a counterfeit $20 bill. Police
stated that Floyd "physically resisted" after being ordered to exit his vehicle before the video was filmed. Some
media organizations, however, have stated that surveillance footage from a nearby restaurant did not show Floyd
offering resistance.
