Jackson had been close friends with Floyd before his death, and the basketball player even referred to George as his twin. In a press conference held on Tuesday, Gianna's mother, Roxie Washington, tearfully demanded justice for Floyd's death. Pointing to her daughter, Roxie stated that she wanted the officers to know that they took her little girl's daddy away from her.

She stated that Floyd would never be able to see Gianna grow or graduate from school. According to her, George would also never get to walk his baby down the aisle. Washinton concluded her speech by adding:
