Cities across the U.S. prepared for the worst ahead of the verdict in Derek Chauvin’s trial for the death of George Floyd. But just as the unrest spread from coast to coast last June, the verdict inspired jubilation to do the same.

The jury found former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin guilty on all counts in the May 25, 2020 death of George Floyd. The 12 jurors deliberated for around 10 hours before deciding to convict Chauvin of second-degree murder, third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter. Live coverage continues on FOX 9 and online at fox9.com/live.
