Derek Chauvin, the white former police officer who infamously knelt on George Floyd, a Black man, for nine and a half minutes in May 2020, has reportedly been stabbed while serving his sentence in a federal prison. The incident occurred in South Minneapolis, where Floyd was handcuffed and lying face down on the street corner. The brutal killing of Floyd, a 46-year-old security guard and former rapper, was captured on video by a teenager and quickly spread worldwide during the Covid-19 pandemic lockdown. This tragic event sparked widespread protests against police violence and racism, making it the largest wave of demonstrations in recent history. Chauvin’s subsequent trial, which was televised and highly publicized, resulted in his conviction for second-degree murder in April 2021. Additionally, three other officers present at the scene of Floyd’s death were later found guilty of violating Floyd’s rights.

Chauvin had attempted to appeal his conviction, but his efforts were recently rejected by the Supreme Court. As part of his plea deal with prosecutors in his federal case, Chauvin was granted the opportunity to serve his sentence in a federal prison, which is generally considered safer than a state prison. Prior to this, he had been held in solitary confinement for 23 hours a day in a Minnesota state prison. The state prison system spokesperson had cited concerns for Chauvin’s safety as the reason for his isolation. In recent years, there have been several notable attacks on federal prisoners, including the stabbing of Larry Nassar, a convicted sexual abuser of young gymnasts, earlier this year, and the 2018 murder of James (Whitey) Bulger, a notorious mobster, in a West Virginia prison.
