Family of Tyre Nichols to sue Memphis and police over fatal beating

The family of Tyre Nichols plans to file a civil lawsuit against the city of Memphis, its police department, and individual officers involved in his January beating death. Five former Memphis police officers, all of whom are Black, were terminated and face charges including second-degree murder, aggravated assault, and official oppression. The family's attorneys also intend to sue the Memphis Police Department for "intentional infliction of emotional distress for lying to [Tyre Nichols'] mother" about his beating at the hands of police.
