The US Federal Bureau of Prisons confirmed an assault at the Federal Correctional Institution (FCI) Tucson, Arizona, without disclosing the identity of the injured individual. Chauvin was found guilty of second-degree murder, third-degree murder, and second-degree manslaughter in 2021.

This incident follows a Justice Department probe revealing systemic issues within the Minneapolis police, where Chauvin served.
