Tyre Nichols rumors
One of the rumors is that Nichols was beaten by former Memphis officer Demetrius Haley because he was sleeping with Haley’s ex-girlfriend.
Rodney Wells said it was “just a rumor”, according to Fox 13 in Memphis.
There have been many social media posts, that concluded that Nichols, who was employed at FedEx, was in a relationship with the mother of Haley’s child.
“My son was not messing around with one of the officer’s wives,” Wells said Monday at a prayer vigil outside his home. “That’s just a rumor.”
Officers charged for victim’s death
Memphis police officers Tadarrius Bean, Haley, Emmitt Martin III, Desmond Mills Jr., and Justin Smith were terminated January 20 after the Memphis Police Department revealed that the police officers had violated department policy regarding use of force.
The men were all charged with second-degree murder, as well as aggravated kidnapping, aggravated assault, official misconduct, and official oppression.
Nichols died at a local hospital three days after fire department workers took him to the hospital, where he was initially listed in critical condition. Three Memphis Fire employees, who reported to the scene, were also fired for failing to provide adequate care.
Nichols had been stopped by police officers and was pulled over for alleged reckless driving on January 7 before the officers beat him.
