When he wasn't working or taking photos, he was skateboarding, an activity he started when he was 6 years old, Wells said. She said at a news conference Friday that Nichols was driving home from Shelby Farms when he was pulled over. Before he had left, he had asked Wells how she was preparing the chicken they were having for dinner.She said her son loved her deeply and even had her name tattooed on his arm.Wells said she will miss the cheerful greeting that rang out when Nichols got home from work, the skatepark or Shelby Farms.
Nichols' death"just made me lose my faith in life and humanity," she said. “Bad things like this don’t happen to good people in my head. It has made me afraid of the world now.”
