Hall said Floyd was then taken across the street. "He was standing across the street," McFarlane said in regard to Hall. "All he saw was his friend on the ground, pleading for his life, begging and crying out for his life."

As bystander footage of the arrest showed, an officer, Derek Chauvin, pinned Floyd to the ground by kneeling on his neck as Floyd repeatedly said, "I can't breathe." A criminal complaint stated this lasted for eight minutes and 46 seconds. Floyd was taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

In a report, the Hennepin County Medical Examiner listed Floyd's manner of death as a homicide and his cause of death as "cardiopulmonary arrest complicating law enforcement subdual, restraint and neck compression."

McFarlane said Hall "didn't even know" Floyd was dead at this point. "He thought that, once he was getting on the gurney and going in the ambulance, that they were going, maybe, to get him some treatment or maybe he was too big for the patrol car so this was another way to take him in," she said. "He didn't find out that Mr. Floyd had passed and was killed until the next day on social media like everybody else."

While McFarlane said many of the facts would be preserved for trial, she said it was "important for the public to know that Mr. Floyd did not resist."
