Tyre Nichols, 29, died of unspecified injuries after two “confrontations” occurred during the stop by Tennessee police earlier this month.
Federal investigators opened a civil rights investigation into the death of Tyre Nichols, a 29-year-old Black motorist who died three days after sustaining unspecified injuries in a traffic stop by Memphis police, the U.S. Attorney for the Western District of Tennessee said Wednesday. Both the FBI and Department of Justice agents were coordinating with U.S. Attorney Kevin G. Ritz’s office on the case, he said in a statement.
The announcement brings the total number of active investigations on the matter up to three, adding to the probes already launched by the city of Memphis and the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation. Local authorities have disclosed few details on the Jan. 7 incident, saying only that officers stopped Nichols for reckless driving before getting into two separate “confrontations” with him.
