‘I Believe I Witnessed a Murder’: Bystander Who Saw George Floyd’s Death Tears Up Listening to 911 Call

Jurors at the murder trial for George Floyd’s accused killer, former Minneapolis Police Officer Derek Chauvin, heard on Tuesday from a witness who said he called 911 after Floyd’s death because he believed he “witnessed a murder.”

“I was very lost at the moment,” the witness, Donald Williams, told jurors in Minneapolis. “And I was very nervous and not knowing what to do.”

“At some point, did you make a 911 call?” an attorney asked Williams. “That is correct,” Williams replied. “I did call the police on the police … because I believe I witnessed a murder.”

It was the second day jurors heard from Williams, a 33-year-old former MMA fighter. In testimony on Monday, he compared Chauvin’s hold on Floyd to a “kill choke” move, and said he looked Chauvin “dead in the eye” as Floyd was dying.

“The officer on top was shimmying to actually get the final choke in while he was on top, the kill choke,” Williams said.

Asked on Tuesday why he called police rather than talking to officers at the scene, Williams responded, “I believe that … we just didn’t have no connection. You know, I spoke to them, but not on a connection of a human-being relationship.”

The ex-fighter’s 911 call was then played — causing Williams to tear up on the stand.
