The family of Tyre Nichols has filed a lawsuit against the city of Memphis.

On January 7th, Nichols was battered repeatedly by Memphis police after a traffic stop led to a foot chase. He was detained, subsequently hospitalized, and later died from injuries sustained during the aggressive attack.

The lawsuit filed by Nichols’ mother, RowVaugn Wells, states the beating was the “direct and foreseeable product of the unconstitutional policies, practices, customs, and deliberate indifference.”

Wells said the five police officers murdered her son, and they along with everyone involved, need to be held accountable.
