Derek Chauvin was stabbed in prison 22 times by a former gang leader and one-time FBI informant who told investigators he targeted the ex-Minneapolis police officer because of his notoriety for killing George Floyd, federal prosecutors said Friday.
John Turscak was charged with attempted murder a week after the Nov. 24 attack at the Federal Correctional Institution in Tucson, Arizona. He told correctional officers he would have killed Chauvin had they not responded so quickly, prosecutors said.
Turscak, who is serving a 30-year sentence for crimes committed while a member of the Mexican Mafia prison gang, told investigators he thought about attacking Chauvin for a month because he is a high-profile inmate but denied wanting to kill him, prosecutors said.
That must have been some punk-ass “improvised knife” to stab a guy 22 times and he’s not gonna die.
It seems Turscak wants the notoriety, perhaps to make other prisoners think twice about killing him for being an FBI informant?
But you can’t find his picture online, only that poor dead guy whose obituary was on the same page.
What a Fail.
That, or Chauvin just got on his nerves- chauvin is an asshole. These incidental stabbing are- unfortunately- inevitable.
You think they were trying to kill him? Lol I’m thinking this dude bet a pack of smokes he could get him at least 25 times and missed the spread.
