The 46-year old unarmed Black man was killed while being arrested on Memorial Day after former Minneapolis Police Officer Derek Chauvin used his knee to subdue Floyd, applying pressure for nearly nine minutes.
It has been previously reported that Floyd and Chauvin worked security at the El Nuevo Rodeo nightclub in Minneapolis.
CBS Evening News reports that a former coworker of the club confirms that not only did the two men work there at the same time, but they actually knew each other and had issues.
Maya Santamaria, owner of El Nuevo Rodeo club on Lake Street, was interviewed during CBS News during the "Justice for All" special on Tuesday evening and said that she believes Chauvin had issues with Black people.
