"Former Memphis officers indicted on federal charges in Tyre Nichols death"

Five former Memphis police officers, who are already facing second-degree murder charges in state courts, have now been indicted on federal civil rights violations in the beating death of Tyre Nichols. The charges include excessive force, failure to intervene, witness tampering, and obstruction of justice. The officers have pleaded not guilty to the state charges. The federal charges come nine months after Nichols was violently beaten during a traffic stop and died three days later. The Justice Department had previously announced an investigation into the Memphis Police Department's use of force and conduct arrests.
