A federal grand jury has indicted the four former Minneapolis police officers involved in George Floyd’s arrest and death.

The indictment, unsealed Friday, names Derek Chauvin, Thomas Lane, J. Kueng and Tou Thao.

Chauvin has already been convicted on state murder and manslaughter charges and is awaiting sentencing.

Charges against Thao and Keung are related to not stopping Chauvin from using unreasonable force.

All four men are facing federal charges for failing to render medical aid to Floyd.

The judge released the three on $25,000 unsecured bonds. They are still facing state charges of aiding and abetting second-degree murder and manslaughter.
