Floyd died when a former Minneapolis police officer handcuffed him during his detention last May

Derek Chauvin, a former Minneapolis police officer, was found guilty of murder and manslaughter in the death of George Floyd, which was caught on tape and triggered worldwide demonstrations against police brutality and racism.

In connection with Floyd's suicide, Chauvin was charged with second-degree accidental homicide, third-degree murder, and second-degree manslaughter. On Tuesday afternoon, a jury found him guilty on all three charges. Floyd died on May 25, 2020, after Chauvin pressed his knees against his neck and back for more than nine minutes as he was handcuffed and held face-down on the pavement. He'd been arrested at a grocery store on suspicion of paying with a fake bill.
