At least 229 Black people have been killed by police officers across the U.S. in the year since George Floyd's murder.
Today marks the one-year anniversary of Floyd's death after then-Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin pressed his knee into Floyd's neck for more than nine minutes as he gasped for air, prompting widespread protests and calls for a change in U.S. policing. However, data shows police have continued to kill Black people at similar rates to previous years.
According to the Mapping Police Violence database, officers across the country have killed at least 229 Black people since Floyd's death in Minneapolis on May 25 last year. The vast majority are male, and range in age from three months to 88.
Samuel Sinyangwe, a data scientist who co-founded the project, told Newsweek that the figure is "most likely an underestimate because more recent killings have fewer articles reporting details such as the race of the victim."
Sinyangwe added: "Excluding 'unknown race' records, Black people make up a similar proportion of people killed out of the total number of killings as in past years."
