Derek Chauvin was found guilty of his murder.
Floyd’s girlfriend of three years,
Courteney Ross, 45, spoke out about the verdict in Minneapolis as people celebrated in the streets, per
People. “I love him with all my heart, and I’d do anything to have him standing next to me again today,” said Ross on a microphone among a small crowd.
“But I know, I know, he gave his life so this could happen,” she said. “And I know that he gave his life so that other people’s cases can get reopened, we can re-examine the cases that were closed, we can get justice for people that deserve it.”
