Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison announced yesterday afternoon he upgraded the charges against former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin to second-degree murder and filed charges against the other three officers involved in George Floyd’s death.

Chauvin is now charged with second-degree murder without intent and second-degree manslaughter. With the upgraded murder charge, his bail went from $500,000 to $1 million.

The other three officers, Tou Thao, Thomas Lane and J. Alexander Kueng, are charged with aiding and abetting a second-degree murder and aiding and abetting a second-degree manslaughter.

Benjamin Crump, the attorney representing Floyd’s family, called the decision a “significant step forward on the road to justice.”

Floyd died on May 25 after Chauvin held him to the ground by putting his knee in Floyd’s neck for nearly nine minutes. The incident, which was captured on video by a bystander, has sparked an outcry across the nation.

According to the charges filed against the officers, Lane and Kueng helped Chauvin hold Floyd down while Thao stood nearby. Floyd told the officers, “I can’t breathe” multiple times but the officers reportedly did not move from their positions.

Following Floyd’s death, Minneapolis Police Chief Medaria Arradondo fired all four officers involved.

Chauvin is currently being held in segregation at the state’s maximum security prison in Oak Park Heights.

It was not announced yesterday if the other three officers would be held in a county jail or state prison.

The Hennepin County Medical Examiner ruled Floyd’s death a homicide and determined his heart stopped as the officers restrained him.
