The Minnesota Police Officer Who Kneeled On George Floyd’s Neck May Be Heading To Florida
Derek Chauvin, the police officer who was seen in the video kneeling on the neck of George Floyd, owns a home near Windermere, a section of the Orlando metropolitan area. In a tweet, Orange County Sheriff’s Office investigators say he is not at the property at this time.

In a Reddit post, a local resident noted that Sheriff’s Office officials are at the address, but Chauvin himself has not been seen.
A small amount of protesters have been spotted outside of the residence. A much larger protest is being planned on social media.
