The wife of Derek Chauvin, the arrested and charged former Minneapolis police officer at the center of George Floyd’s death, is seeking a divorce, according to her lawyer.
“This evening, I spoke with Kellie Chauvin and her family. She is devastated by Mr. Floyd’s death and her utmost sympathy lies with his family, with his loved ones and with everyone who is grieving this tragedy. She has filed for dissolution of her marriage to Derek Chauvin,†a lawyer of Sekula Law Offices said in a statement Friday.
“While Ms. Chauvin has no children from her current marriage, she respectfully requests that her children, her elder parents, and her extended family be given safety and privacy during this difficult time,†added the statement.
Earlier Friday, Hennepin County Attorney Mike Freeman announced the third-degree murder and manslaughter charges against Chauvin.
“We have now been able to put together the evidence that we need,†Freeman stated.
The fired cop faces up to 25 years in prison if convicted.
