Floyd, 46, died on Memorial Day after former police officer, Derek Chauvin suffocated him when he was being arrested for suspicion of using forged currency.

His death sparked nationwide Black Lives Matter protests. The country's citizens have been demanding justice for Floyd and have been demonstrating against police brutality and systemic racism system.

According to etonline, Chauvin has since been charged with second-degree murder. In addition, the three other Minneapolis police officers - Thomas Lane, J Alexander Kueng and Tou Thao, who were also fired for their involvement in Floyd's death - have been charged with aiding and abetting murder.
