Derek Chauvin, was apparently targeted for vandalism early Saturday, but the suspects got the wrong house, say cops in Santa Rosa, California.
Authorities say he no longer lives there, and has not for years. He does not even live in California anymore. Instead, another resident found their home smeared with what seemed to be animal blood. There was a pig’s head near the front porch.

The former home of a man who testified as part of former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin’s defense in his ongoing murder trial was vandalized over the weekend, police claim.
The current homeowners called dispatchers around 3 a.m. Saturday after they were awakened by a group of vandals, police said. Former police officer and use of force expert Barry Brodd testified during the trial of Derek Chauvin on Tuesday. “I felt Derek Chauvin was justified, was acting with objective reasonableness following Minneapolis Police Department policy,” Brodd said.’’
The vandals were all dressed in black and ran away as the victim called the police. No arrests have been announced.
“Because Mr. Brodd no longer lives in the city of Santa Rosa, it appears the victim was falsely targeted,” the statement said.
