Former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin, who was convicted of the murder of George Floyd, was seriously injured in a stabbing incident at a federal prison in Arizona. The attack occurred at the Federal Correction Institution, Tucson, and Chauvin remains in stable condition. Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison expressed sadness over the violence and emphasized that Chauvin, like any incarcerated individual, should be able to serve his sentence without fear of retaliation or violence. While the Bureau of Prisons and the FBI confirmed an inmate was assaulted at the prison, they did not specifically confirm it was Chauvin. The inmate received medical attention and visitations at the prison have been suspended. The motive for the altercation is still unclear. Chauvin, who was sentenced to 22 ½ years in state prison and received a 21-year federal sentence, has been appealing his convictions. The U.S. Supreme Court recently rejected his appeal for the murder convictions. Chauvin has also been seeking to overturn his federal civil rights conviction, claiming new evidence suggests he did not cause Floyd's death. Floyd's death and the subsequent protests against racial injustice and police brutality sparked a national movement. Three other Minneapolis officers involved in restraining Floyd were also convicted.
