Floyd and Chauvin both worked security at a Minneapolis nightclub.
As mourners in Houston honor the life of George Floyd in Minneapolis, CBS News is learning new details from a nightclub coworker about the history between Floyd and Derek Chauvin, the former officer who is charged in Floyd’s death. Not only did they know each other, but a former coworker says they had a history of friction.
Floyd and Chauvin both worked security at a nightclub at the same time. Coworker David Pinney said the two men had a history.
« They bumped heads, » Pinney said.
« How? » CBS News asked.
« It has a lot to do with Derek being extremely aggressive within the club with some of the patrons, which was an issue, » Pinney explained.
The Floyd family says they believe what happened on May 25 was in part personal.
