Ellison stated that officers Thomas Lane, Tou Thao and J. Alexander Kueng will be charged with aiding and abetting second-degree murder, according to the Star Tribune.
As Blavity previously reported, Chauvin was initially arrested and charged with third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter for George Floyd's death.
But Lane, Thao and Kueng had only been fired from the police force.
Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar — who has faced criticism for her past decision to not charge Chauvin in a separate shooting incident —tweeted about the decision.
