A memorial service will be held in Minneapolis this Thursday from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m., according to Ben Crump. The funeral in Houston, where Floyd grew up, will be at 11 a.m. CT, Crump said at a news conference Monday.Videos from the May 25 incident show police officer Derek Chauvin -- since fired -- pressing his knee of Floyd's neck, and other officers kneeling on his back.Chauvin has been with third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter.
Floyd's death set off protests, sometimes violent, that have spread throughout the country and abroad. Houston police Chief Art Acevedo said Sunday he wants his department to provide a police escort when Floyd's body is returned to his home city from Minneapolis, as a show of support for the Floyd family."It's going to be a big deal for our city to bring him back home," Acevedo said in an interview with CNN's Don Lemon.
