Five former Memphis police officers who were fired over Tyre Nichols’ death have been charged with second-degree murder, The Associated Press reports. Nichols, a Black motorist, died three days after a violent confrontation with the officers during a traffic stop in early January.
“This was wrong. This was criminal,” Tennessee Bureau of Investigation Director David Rausch said during a press conference as the charges were announced.
