Family of George Floyd Files Civil Suit
Attorneys for the family of George Floyd filed a federal civil lawsuit on Wednesday.
The suit is against the city of Minneapolis and the police officers involved in the death of George Floyd.

Chauvin was arrested and charged with second-degree murder.
The lawsuit was filed in US District Court for the District of Minnesota.
