A former club owner in south Minneapolis says the now-fired police officer and the black man who died in his custody this week both worked security for her club up to the end of last year.

George Floyd and now-former Officer Derek Chauvin both worked security at the El Nuevo Rodeo club on Lake Street, according to Maya Santamaria. Santamaria owned the building for nearly two decades, but sold the venue within the last few months.

"Chauvin was our off-duty police for almost the entirety of the 17 years that we were open," Santamaria said. "They were working together at the same time, it's just that Chauvin worked outside and the security guards were inside."

"My friend sent me (the video) and said this is your guy who used to work for you and I said, 'It's not him.' And then they did the closeup and that's when I said, 'Oh my God, that's him,'" Santamaria said. "I didn't recognize George as one of our security guys because he looked really different lying there like that."

1. What a wrinkle, eh?

2. So the murder was personal, then

Chauvin is a real piece of work

3. Sounds real personal to me too, hekate.

5. A Reasonable Suspicion, For Sure

It's possible, I suppose, that they didn't actually know each other, given the inside/outside thing.
But, it seems more likely they did know one another.

8. Did they know each other?

Would Mr. Floyd not have addressed him by his name if he knew him? Mr. Floyd addressed him as "Sir" while begging him to get off his neck.
