City of Memphis to Release Additional Video and Records from Internal Investigation into Death of Tyre Nichols

Memphis officials are set to release 20 more hours of video and records from an internal investigation into the January death of Tyre Nichols, a city official said Tuesday. The release is expected to take place Wednesday afternoon.

The death of Nichols, a Memphis resident, has resulted in criminal charges against 13 police officers and four fire department personnel. Seven of the police officers have been fired, five of whom have been criminally charged. The Memphis Fire Department has also conducted administrative investigations to determine whether any employees violated department policies.

Memphis Chief Legal Officer Jennifer Sink said the city’s internal investigations into the beatings have finished and the additional video footage will be released Wednesday. Sink also said that four Memphis Fire Department personnel have been charged.

The fatal beating of Nichols occurred on January 7th and has sparked outrage in the city. The release of the additional video footage and records from the internal investigation is expected to provide more insight into the incident.

The City Council’s Public Safety Committee is expected to review the findings of the investigation and the additional video footage. The committee will then make recommendations to the City Council on how to address the incident.
