Charles McMillian delivered some of the most poignant testimony during former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin’s 2021 murder trial, breaking down into sobs as he relived watching George Floyd die on the street in his south Minneapolis neighborhood.
McMillian, 64, of Minneapolis filed a legal claim against the city for emotional distress, and on Monday, a Minneapolis City Council committee will consider paying him $30,000 in a settlement out of the city’s self-insurance fund.
