Five former Memphis police officers were charged with murder Thursday in the death of Tyre Nichols, a 29-year-old Black man who died three days after a traffic stop.
Body camera footage of the incident, which has already been viewed by Nichols' family and their attorneys, has been described as "heinous," "violent" and "appalling." Officials are set to release the footage to the public on Friday.
CRUMP: Well, as the family is relieved that they have confirmed that these officers will face criminal accountability in a court of law for what they did to Tyre Nichols. It's still painful for his parents and his siblings and their entire family, but they are a little relieved to know that there will be criminal charges that are being brought.
DAVIS: The Shelby County DA said today that there are multiple sources of video and that, "people will be able to see the entire encounter from beginning to end." Can you describe what the sources of video are? Is this all police bodycam footage? CRUMP: Where, well, the families are relieved that they terminated the officers in a swift manner. And they also are thankful that the charges were brought today. And everybody who talked about him, everybody we've met talked about him just being a gentle soul who, you know, loved to skateboard, loved photography, loved to take pictures of sunsets as often as he could.
