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.
