A second former Minneapolis police officer has completed his sentence over the death of George Floyd and has been released from prison.
Floyd died in police custody while on drugs and resisting arrest on May 25, 2020. His death caused massive, deadly riots across the nation.
Former Officer J. Alexander Kueng, 31, was released from FCI Elkton in Ohio on Wednesday.
Kueng pleaded guilty to aiding and abetting second-degree manslaughter in October 2022. He was subsequently sentenced to three and a half years in prison.
In addition to the state charges, Kueng was convicted in federal court of depriving Floyd of his civil rights. He was sentenced to three years in prison in that case.
Fortunately, Kueng was able to serve the sentences concurrently.
During the fatal May 25, 2020, arrest of Floyd, Kueng had kneeled on his back while Derek Chauvin controlled his neck.
Former Officer Thomas Lane completed his sentence in August and was released.
Former Officer Tou Thao is scheduled to be released in November.
Chauvin was convicted of second-degree murder, third-degree murder, and second-degree manslaughter and sentenced to 21 years in prison.
In 2023, Chauvin was brutally stabbed nearly two dozen times by a fellow inmate, an attack which he survived.
