MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Tyre Nichols' family will gather in Memphis, Tennessee, on Wednesday for his funeral, weeks after the 29-year-old died following a violent encounter with Memphis police officers caught on body camera.
The graphic footage of Nichols' traffic stop and beating was released to the public on Friday and sparked nationwide outrage. Nichols, a young father who loved skateboarding, died on Jan. 10.
Nichols' mother, RowVaughn Wells, said,"I just feel like my son was sent here on an assignment. His assignment was fulfilled and God took him home." Nichols family attorney Ben Crump said Nichols' parents spoke with Harris on the phone for over 30 minutes.
