Five former Memphis police officers have been charged with second-degree murder and other crimes in the arrest & death of Tyre Nichols, a Black motorist who died 3 days after a confrontation with the officers during a traffic stop, records showed Thursday.
Shelby County District Attorney Steve Mulroy said he would provide an update on the state’s investigation Thursday afternoon.
“”This is not just a professional failing. This is a failing of basic humanity toward another individual,” Memphis Police Director Cerelyn “CJ” Davis said in a video statement that was released late Wednesday on social media. Video footage of the arrest has been shown to Nichols’ family, but has not been made public, though local officials have pledged to release it this week or next week.
