A Black man who yelled "I cannot breathe" as a
white Minneapolis police officer pinned him down with his knee in the US
state of Minnesota died late on Monday, police confirmed, drawing
outrage from community members and leaders, and leading to the officers'
termination.

been retained by the Floyd family.
