George Floyd’s brother travels to scene where he died in police custody

George Floyd’s younger brother has traveled from his home in Brooklyn to Minneapolis to visit the very spot where his brother died in police custody.

“I just wanna feel my brother’s spirit … just connect with him again,” Terrence Floyd, 42, told ABC News’ “Good Morning America” Monday.

He let out a large, overwhelmed sigh when asked about visiting the location where his 46-year-old brother died after being pinned by an officer’s knee on his neck for almost nine minutes.

“It’s been just devastating. I’m still a little numb about it,” Terrence said about dealing with the aftermath of his brother’s death.

“He was a gentle giant,” Terrence said of George. “He was about peace, unity … he was a peaceful motivator.”

Terrence appeared on “GMA” alongside the Rev. Kevin McCall, part of a New York contingent also including civil rights lawyer Sanford Rubenstein who made the journey with him to Minnesota.

“We have been through this in New York … when dealing with Eric Garner,” McCall told “GMA” of the 43-year-old Staten Island man who, like Floyd, died after gasping “I can’t breathe” during his arrest.

“We know what the people are experiencing in Minneapolis. We are coming down here to call for peace and unity,” McCall said, while wearing a face mask with Floyd’s photo and “We can’t breathe” written on it.
