Woman who lent George Floyd her car has yet to get it back.

In a heartbreaking turn of events, a woman named Sylvia Jackson lent her car to her friend, George Floyd, on May 25, 2020. Little did she know that this would be the last time she would see her beloved vehicle. Floyd was tragically killed by Minneapolis police officers, including Derek Chauvin, while he was driving Jackson's car.

It has been almost four years since that fateful day, yet Jackson has still not been able to get her car back. She was recently informed that it was being held as evidence in the ongoing criminal investigation into Floyd's death. According to KSTP, Jackson allowed Floyd to borrow her blue 2001 Mercedes SUV on the day of his death. Despite her numerous attempts to retrieve her car, it has remained in police custody.

Even with the trials and convictions of the officers involved in Floyd's death, Jackson's car was still being held as evidence. In February, she reached out to the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension to inquire about the status of her vehicle. She was met with a response that they were still working on it.

"I just wanted my property back," Jackson shared. She had no ulterior motives, just a desire to have her car returned to her. However, it seemed like a never-ending battle.

When the BCA was contacted by a media outlet about Jackson's car, they stated that it was still being held as evidence in the active criminal investigation. But after agreeing to an on-camera interview, they backed out. Later, the Minnesota Attorney General's Office contacted the media outlet and revealed that Jackson would soon be getting her car back.

"Attorney General Ellison has authorized that Ms. Jackson's car be released to her," stated Press Secretary Brian Evans. "While this is not the usual procedure for retaining evidence, we understand the burden this has placed on Ms. Jackson." The Attorney General's office has been in communication with the BCA and has given the green light for the vehicle to be returned to Jackson. A BCA spokesperson assured that they will inform Jackson of the specific details and timeline for the return of her car.

"I am just relieved to finally have my property back," Jackson expressed. "It may just be a car to some, but it holds sentimental value to me. I worked hard to buy it and it means a lot to me." It is a small victory for Jackson, who has been through so much in the aftermath of Floyd's death. This situation serves as a reminder that justice may be served, but there are still innocent people who are affected and waiting for closure.
