Derek was serving a federal prison sentence of over two decades (21 years) after being convicted of state murder charges and a federal charge of violating George’s constitutional rights.

A white man Derek knelt on George after arresting him for nine and a half minutes in May 2020 while George was handcuffed and face down on a South Minneapolis street corner. Derek arrested George as part of an arrest conducted because a store clerk suspected George of using a bogus $20 dollars bill.

George was assassinated on camera by a teenager. The footage spread around the world. Afterward, this incident sparked outrage across the United States of America and called for punishment against Derek.
