The Minneapolis man who died this week after a police officer knelt on his neck worked at the same club as the officer, the club owner said.

Both George Floyd and Derek Chauvin, the officer who was fired after Floyd died, worked in security at the El Nuevo Rodeo club in Minneapolis, Maya Santamaria said.
