The federal civil rights investigation into the death of George Floyd while in police custody is ongoing despite the guilty verdict, U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland said in a statement.

Earlier in the day, a U.S. jury in the state of Minnesota found former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin guilty of second-degree murder, third-degree murder, and second-degree manslaughter in connection to Floyd’s death last May.“The Justice Department has previously announced a federal civil rights investigation into the death of George Floyd,” Garland said on Tuesday.

“This investigation is ongoing,” he added. (Xinhua/NAN)
