Floyd returned to Houston from college in Kingsville, Texas, in 1995 and became an automotive customizer and played club basketball.[20][27] Beginning in 1994, he performed as a rapper using the stage name Big Floyd in the hip hop group Screwed Up Click.[28][29][30][31] The New York Times described his deep-voiced rhymes as "purposeful", delivered in a slow-motion clip about "'choppin' blades' – driving cars with oversize rims – and his Third Ward pride."[15] The second rap group he was involved in was "Presidential Playas" and he worked on their album Block Party released in 2000.[32][33] Between 1997 and 2005, Floyd served eight jail terms on various minor charges, including drug possession, theft, and trespass.[9][15][13][note 2] In 2007, Floyd faced charges for aggravated robbery with a deadly weapon. According to investigators, Floyd had entered an apartment by impersonating a water department worker and barging in, and he pointed a pistol at a woman.[17][34][35] Floyd was arrested three months later during a traffic stop and victims of the robbery identified him from a photo array.[35] In 2009, he was sentenced to five years in prison as part of a plea deal[34][36][37] and was paroled in January 2013.[20] After Floyd's release, he became more involved with Resurrection Houston, a Christian church and ministry, where he mentored young men.[10][15][38] He delivered meals to senior citizens and volunteered with other projects, such as the Angel By Nature Foundation, a charity founded by rapper Trae tha Truth.[39] Later he became involved with a ministry that brought men from the Third Ward to Minnesota in a church-work program with drug rehabilitation and job placement services.[15] In 2014, Floyd moved to Minneapolis to help rebuild his life and find work.[40][41] Soon after his arrival, he completed a 90-day rehabilitation program at the Turning Point program in north Minneapolis. Floyd expressed the need for a job and took up security work at Harbor Light Center, a Salvation Army homeless shelter.[35] He lost the job at Harbor Light and took up several other jobs. Floyd hoped to earn a commercial driver's license to operate trucks. He passed the required drug test and administrators of the program felt his criminal past did not pose a problem, but he dropped out as his job at a nightclub made it difficult to attend morning classes, and he felt pressure to earn money. Floyd later moved to St. Louis Park and lived with former colleagues.[35] Floyd continued to battle drug addiction and went through periods of use and sobriety.[35] In May 2019, Floyd was detained by Minneapolis police when an unlicensed car he was a passenger in was pulled over in a traffic stop. Floyd was found with a bottle of pain pills. Officers handcuffed Floyd and took him to the city's third police precinct station. Floyd told police he did not sell the pills and that they were related to his own addiction. When Floyd appeared agitated, officers encouraged him to relax and helped calm him down, and they later called an ambulance as they grew worried about his condition. No charges were filed in connection with the incident.[35] In 2019, George Floyd worked security at the El Nuevo Rodeo club, where police officer Derek Chauvin also worked off-duty as a security guard.[42] In 2020, Floyd lost his security job at a bar and restaurant affected by the COVID-19 pandemic rules,[43] and in April of that year contracted COVID-19 himself, but recovered a few weeks later.[15][12] Death Main article: Killing of George Floyd On May 25, 2020, Floyd was arrested after allegedly passing a counterfeit $20 bill at a grocery store in the Powderhorn Park neighborhood of Minneapolis.[44] He died after Derek Chauvin, a white police officer, pressed his knee to Floyd's neck for over eight minutes[note 1] during the arrest. Floyd was handcuffed face down in the street,[45][46][47] while two other officers further restrained Floyd and a fourth prevented onlookers from intervening.[48]:6:24[49][50] During the final two minutes,[51] Floyd was motionless and had no pulse.[52][53] Though the officers called for medical assistance, they took no action to treat him.[54]:6:46 Chauvin kept his knee on Floyd's neck as emergency medical technicians arrived.[54]:7:21 The medical examiner's final findings,[55][56] issued June 1,[57] found that Floyd's heart stopped while he was being restrained and that his death was a homicide caused by "cardiopulmonary arrest complicating law enforcement subdual, restraint, and neck compression".[58] Fentanyl intoxication and recent methamphetamine use may have increased the likelihood of death.[59] Other significant conditions were arteriosclerotic heart disease and hypertensive heart disease.[60][55] The report states that on April 3 Floyd had tested positive for SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, but does not list it as a fatal or other significant condition.[61][62] Floyd's family commissioned a second autopsy, carried out by Michael Baden, a pathologist and former New York City chief medical examiner who had previously autopsied Eric Garner, and attended by Allecia Wilson, director of autopsy and forensic services at the University of Michigan Medical School.[63][64] From the evidence available to them, which did not include a toxicology report or unspecified bodily samples, Baden and Wilson announced on June 1 their finding that Floyd's death was a homicide caused by asphyxia due to neck and back compression.[65][63][60] Also, Floyd had no underlying medical problem that contributed to his death.[66] Baden said neck compression affected blood flow to the brain[60] and being able to speak does not mean that someone is able to breathe.[66] After Floyd's death, protests were held globally against the use of excessive force by police officers against black suspects and lack of police accountability. Protests began in Minneapolis the day after his death and developed in cities throughout all 50 U.S. states and internationally.[67][68] Memorials and legacy The carriage carrying Floyd's casket to his burial in Pearland, Texas, June 9 Several memorial services were held. On June 4, 2020, a memorial service for Floyd took place in Minneapolis with Al Sharpton delivering the eulogy.[69] Services were planned in North Carolina with a public viewing and private service on June 6 and in Houston on June 8 and 9.[70] Floyd was buried next to his mother in Pearland, Texas.[71][72][73] Colleges and universities which have created scholarships in Floyd's name included North Central University (which hosted a memorial service for Floyd),[74][75] Alabama State, Oakwood University,[76][77] Missouri State University, Southeast Missouri State, Ohio University,[78][79][80] Buffalo State College, Copper Mountain College,[81][82] and others.[83] Amid nationwide protests over Floyd's killing, Netflix CEO Reed Hastings and his wife Patty Quillin made a $120 million donation to be split equally among Morehouse College, Spelman College and the United Negro College Fund.[84] The donation was the largest ever made to historically black colleges and universities.[85] Large area of sidewalk covered in flowers and other tributes beside a building with a mural painted on the wall Tributes and mural outside Cup Foods, where Floyd died. George Floyd mural created by protesters in Portland, Oregon Street artists globally created murals honoring Floyd. Depictions included Floyd as a ghost in Minneapolis, as an angel in Houston, and as a saint weeping blood in Naples. A mural on the International Wall in Belfast commissioned by Festival of the People (Féile an Phobail) and Visit West Belfast (Fáilte Feirste Thiar) featured a large portrait of Floyd above a tableau showing Chauvin kneeling on Floyd's neck while the three other officers turn their backs and each covers his eyes, ears, or mouth in the manner of the Three Wise Monkeys ("See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil").[86][87][88] One Houston mural is on the side of Scott Food Mart in the Third Ward,[89] while the other is on the property of The Breakfast Klub restaurant in Midtown.[90] By June 6, murals had been created in many cities, including Manchester, Dallas, Miami, Idlib, Los Angeles, Nairobi, Oakland, Strombeek-Bever, Berlin, Pensacola, and La Mesa.[91][92] The mural in Manchester was defaced with graffiti. Manchester Police investigated the incident.[93] A bill proposed by US Representative Sheila Jackson Lee, the George Floyd Law Enforcement Trust and Integrity Act, was designed to reduce police brutality and establish national policing standards and accreditations.[94][95] The length of time that Chauvin was initially believed to have had his knee on Floyd's neck, eight minutes 46 seconds, was widely commemorated as a "moment of silence" to honor Floyd.[96][97][note 1] Floyd's death was featured prominently in The Economist, with the magazine running an obituary, multiple articles, and numerous reader letters, ultimately making the legacy of his death its June 13 cover story.[98] It wrote that his legacy "[is] the rich promise of social reform."[99] On September 18, 2020, the Minneapolis City Council approved designating the section of Chicago Avenue between 37th and 39th Streets as George Perry Floyd Jr. Place, with a marker at the intersection with 38th Street where the incident took place. The intersection had been the location of a makeshift memorial that emerged the day after his death.[100] On October 6, 2020, Amnesty International delivered a letter with one million signatures from around the world to the US Attorney General William Barr to demand justice for George Floyd. The human rights advocacy group demanded that the police officers involved in the killing of George Floyd be held accountable.[101] Personal life Floyd had five children, including two daughters (aged 6 and 22 at the time of his death) and an adult son.[102][103][104][105] He also had two grandchildren.[12] A GoFundMe account to support Floyd's funeral costs and benefit his family broke the site's record for number of individual donations
