A day earlier, his famous wife Beyoncé addressed fans online with a call for justice in the wake of Floyd's death.

"We need justice for George Floyd," the star began her video message on Instagram. "We all witnessed his murder in broad daylight. We're broken and we're disgusted. We cannot normalize this pain."

"I'm not only speaking to people of color. If you're white, black, brown or anything in-between, I'm sure you feel hopeless about the racism going on in America right now," she continued. "No more senseless killings of human beings. No more seeing people of color as less than human. We can no longer look away."

"George is all of our family and humanity," the songstress said. "He's our family because he's a fellow American. There have been too many times that we've seen these violent killings and no consequences," she shared. "Yes, someone's been charged, but justice is far from being achieved. Please sign the petition and continue to pray for peace, compassion and healing for our country."
