Memphis police officers faced state charges, including second-degree murder and aggravated assault, in the fatal beating of Tyre Nichols.

A jury found the three men not guilty of all charges in connection with the 2023 fatal beating, including the most serious charge of second-degree murder.

The fate of three former Memphis police officers charged in the beating of Tyre Nichols was in the hands of 12 people who do not live in the city as jury deliberations began Tuesday in the 29-year-old Black man’s death.
