Who was georgo floyd.

George Floyd was a 46-year-old dad who spent most of his life in his hometown of Houston, Texas.

He was charged in 2007 with armed robbery in a home invasion in Houston.

In 2009 Floyd was sentenced to five years in prison as part of a plea deal, according to court documents.

Years later, seeking a fresh start, and unemployed, he left Houston to find a job and start a new life in Minneapolis, where he worked as a truck driver and bouncer.

Prior to his death, he had been working as a security guard at Latin American restaurant Conga Latin Bistro in the city.

But, due to the coronavirus stay-at-home orders, Floyd lost his job.

Conga customer Jessi Zendejas said in a Facebook post that the security guard "loved his hugs from his regulars.

"[He] would be mad if you didn't stop to greet him because he honestly loved seeing everyone and watching everyone have fun."
