TJV previously reported: that George Floyd and his killer former officer Derek Chauvin worked together as security for a night club
Club owner Maya Santamaria says that the two both worked the same security shift at El Nuevo Rodeo club on Lake Street, before the business was sold a few months ago.
Santamaria also claimed that Chavin was overly aggressive to patrons, especially on nights where the crowd was predominantly African American
At the time of this original report seen on local Minneapolis ABC affiliate, the 2 allegedly did not interact with each other however a brand new report from CBS News– this time a National network story,says otherwise. In this new revelation, the two allegedly “bumped heads” at work
A coworker David Pinney told CBS News that the two didn’t simply know each other – but they also had serious friction between each other.
“They bumped heads,” Pinney told the news station.
“It has a lot to do with Derek being extremely aggressive within the club with some of the patrons, which was an issue,” Pinney continued.
If found guilty of intentional second-degree murder, Chauvin could face up to 25 and a half years in prison, while an unintentional second-degree murder conviction would call for 12 and a half years in prison, Zero Hedge reported.
The family of George Floyd has been convinced that the killing was driven at least in part by personal motives. Family attorney Benjamin Crump has also demanded that Chauvin be charged with first-degree murder, “because we believe he knew who George Floyd was.”- CBS previously reported.
Pinney agrees that Chauvin knew his eventual victim, saying: “No. He knew him … I would say pretty well.”
