Minneapolis, Minnesota - In a shocking turn of events, former police officer Derek Chauvin was reportedly stabbed while serving a lengthy sentence in a federal prison. Chauvin gained infamy last year after being convicted for the murder of George Floyd, sparking nationwide protests against police brutality and misconduct.
The assault occurred at the undisclosed prison facility where Chauvin is incarcerated. According to sources, another inmate attacked him with a makeshift weapon, stabbing him multiple times. The motive behind the attack remains unclear, but given Chauvin's high-profile case, it has raised concerns about his safety behind bars.
Chauvin, who is serving a 22.5-year sentence, was found guilty of second-degree unintentional murder, third-degree murder, and second-degree manslaughter in Floyd's death. The incident, which took place in Minneapolis, Minnesota, last year, triggered a wave of demonstrations demanding justice and an end to police violence.
The Federal Bureau of Prisons, the organization responsible for overseeing federal inmates, has initiated an investigation into the incident. They are working to determine how Chauvin's attacker managed to carry out the assault.
