Darnella Frazier

Darnella Frazier is the young woman who filmed the harrowing last few seconds of the life of George Floyd. In May after her video went worldwide, the 17-year-old told Star Tribune in Minnesota, “The world needed to see what I was seeing.”

Frazier’s video inspired a global outrage against the killing of Floyd in the streets of Minnesota. The young woman filmed the whole process of Floyd’s arrest and how he was pinned to the ground at the neck by ex-officer Derek Chauvin’s knee for eight minutes and forty-six seconds.

Floyd fell unconscious after the officer had ignored his cries and died immediately after an EMT team had arrived.
