The Memphis Police Department fired a sixth police officer on Feb. 3 as it announced further findings from its internal investigation into the death of Tyre Nichols.
Nichols, 29, passed away in the hospital on Jan. 10, three days after a violent encounter with five Memphis police officers during a traffic stop that ultimately ended with Nichols succumbing to injuries sustained in the incident. The encounter was captured in video recordings made public by the city of Memphis on Jan. 27.
