A federal inmate has been charged with attempted murder after prosecutors say he stabbed Derek Chauvin 22 times. According to the indictment, the inmate had allegedly been planning to attack Chauvin for a month.
MINNEAPOLIS — Derek Chauvin, the former Minneapolis police officer convicted of killing George Floyd, was transferred to a federal prison in Texas almost nine months after he was stabbed in a different facility, the federal Bureau of Prisons told The Associated Press on Tuesday. Chauvin, 47, is now housed at the Federal Correctional Institution in Big Spring, a low-security prison.
Alexander Kueng, who is Black, knelt on Floyd’s back, and Tou Thao, who is Hmong American, kept bystanders from intervening during the 9 1/2-minute restraint. Kueng and Thao are both set to be released in 2025. Kueng is detained at a federal prison in Ohio and Thao at a facility in Kentucky, according to Bureau of Prisons records. The killing, captured on bystander video, sparked protests in 2020 as part of a worldwide reckoning over racial injustice.
