Inmate who stabbed Derek Chauvin charged with attempted murder
John Turscak, a former gang member serving a 30-year sentence, has been charged with attempted murder for stabbing former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin in federal prison in Arizona. Turscak attacked Chauvin, who was convicted for the murder of George Floyd, with an improvised knife in the prison’s law library. Turscak stated he had planned the attack for about a month due to Chauvin’s high-profile status. He also mentioned that he attacked Chauvin on Black Friday as a symbolic connection to the Black Lives Matter movement and the “Black Hand” symbol associated with the Mexican Mafia. Chauvin was taken to a hospital for treatment following the attack.
