George Floyd's sister called him "somebody that is going to help everybody" ahead of Saturday's fourth anniversary of his infamous, caught-on-camera police murder in Minneapolis.

Bridgett Floyd, who lives in North Carolina, told People magazine that she planned to spend the weekend in her late brother's home state of Minnesota.

"I just want the world to know that my brother was somebody. He was somebody. He wasn't just anybody," Bridgett Floyd, 33, said.

"He wasn't just any man. He just wasn't any Black man. But he was somebody. And he was the somebody that's going to help everybody that needs help," she added, apparently referring to increased awareness and change regarding police brutality triggered by her bother's murder.

She added: "That's what I want the world to know — that he is the somebody that is going to help everybody."

Bridgett Floyd also said during the interview that she was trying to "do the works that God wants to see" following the trauma of her brother's death on Memorial Day 2020.

"I was broken. I was so broken and I was so hurt because I didn't know how to accept my brother's death. I really did not. And I thought I was okay. And I was not okay," she said. 

A teenage girl on the scene that day used a cell phone to record a video of then-Minneapolice Police Officer Derek Chauvin pressing his knee against George Floyd's neck after he was arrested on suspicion of passing a counterfeit $20 bill at a convenience store.

Floyd, 46, said he couldn't breathe 27 times before going limp during the deadly 9-minute, 29-second ordeal.

The horrific killing sparked massive protests across America and around the world.

In 2021, a jury convicted Chauvin, 48, of Floyd's murder.

He was sentenced to 22 years in prison and later pleaded guilty to violating Floyd's federal civil rights.

In November, Chauvin was stabbed 22 times inside the federal prison in Tucson, Arizona, and a former gang leader and ex-FBI informant was charged with his attempted murder.

Three other Minneapolis cops — J. Alexander Keung, Thomas Lane, and Tou Thou — were charged with aiding and abetting Floyd's slaying and violating his civil rights.

All of them pleaded guilty or were convicted after trial.
