Five former Memphis police officers were charged on Thursday with murder for the death of a black motorist, Tyre Nichols, from injuries he sustained in a violent encounter following a traffic stop, prosecutors said.
They were dismissed from the force last Saturday after an internal investigation found they had violated multiple departmental policies, including using excessive force, failing to intervene and failing to render aid. They were taken into custody on Thursday morning, county jail records showed.
“There was another altercation at a nearby location at which the serious injuries were experienced by Mr Nichols,” the prosecutor said. David Rausch, director of the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, said at the news conference he was sickened by what he saw in the bodycam videos.
