Community holds bike ride, block party to honor George Floyd
HOUSTON โ Family and friends continue to celebrate George Floyd after what would have been his 47th birthday. Precinct 1 Commissioner Rodney Ellis and about 40 bicyclists rode 16 and a half miles in honor of Floyd. The riders stopped at a mural dedicated to Floyd in Third Ward, where family and friends had already gathered for a block party. Floyd died in May after a Minneapolis police officer put his knee on Floydโs neck for nearly nine minutes. The four ex-officers involved face charges ranging from second-degree murder to manslaughter.
