The Minnesota Attorney General's office has finished its initial review of evidence in the investigation of four former police officers involved in the death of George Floyd and has announced a decision regarding additional charges.
The attorney general will make a significant announcement in the case early this afternoon.
A total of three officers can be seen on video on top of George Floyd before his death on May 25. They include Derek Chauvin, charged with third-degree murder and manslaughter, as well as officers Thomas Lane and J.A. Keung. A fourth former officer, Tou Thao, is seen on the video near the others.
Benjamin Crump, an attorney for the Floyd family, said he is confident the other officers will be charged before Thursday's public memorial in Minneapolis.
"I am confident that these officers will be charged before people in Minneapolis say their final goodbyes to George Floyd, may he rest in peace."
