Five former Memphis police officers were charged on Thursday (January 26) with murder in the death of Tyre Nichols, a Black man who died three days after a traffic stop, prosecutors said.

Nichols, a 29-year-old father, died in a hospital on Jan. 10, three days after sustaining injuries during his arrest by the five police officers. Officials are expected to release bodycam footage of the traffic stop on Friday evening.

“We all want the same thing. We want justice for Tyre Nichols,” Shelby County District Attorney Steve Mulroy said at a news conference.

Director of the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation David Rausch who saw the video said it was ‘absolutely appalling…this was criminal.’

The five officers, who are all Black, have been charged with second-degree murder, aggravated assault, aggravated kidnapping, official misconduct and official oppression, Mulroy said.
