About Selwyn Jones: Jones, 54, lived an unassuming life as a father, husband and hotel owner in Gettysburg until May 25. That’s when his nephew died in Minneapolis. Officers attempting to arrest Floyd pinned him to the ground with one officer holding his knee to Floyd’s neck until he died. It’s a moment — eight minutes and 46 seconds, actually — that sparked outrage and demonstrations across the country. Looking back, Jones said, God put the Minneapolis events into motion. His nephew, he said, was a sacrifice intended to make a difference and spark Jones into action.
