The family of Tyre Nichols will bring a civil lawsuit against the Memphis Police Department over his death in an effort to get answers about why that fatal traffic stop took place.
RowVaughn Wells, Nichols's mother, appeared with attorney Benjamin Crump, who represents the family, on MSNBC's PoliticsNation on Saturday to discuss updates in the case. The two voiced their concern about the speed of the investigation and the lack of additional indictments. They also expressed dismay about reports that a lieutenant identified as the on-scene supervisor on the night of Nichols's arrest was permitted to retire ahead of a disciplinary hearing to fire him.
It was at this point that Crump announced the civil suit, telling Rev. Al Sharpton, who hosts the MSNBC program,"We are going to be bringing a civil action because the truth of why they really stopped Tyre Nichols is going to come out."
