Former Memphis officers charged in Tyre Nichols' death assaulted another Black motorist days before, lawsuit claims

A month after Tyre Nichols' death, following his brutal beating by Memphis police officers, another Black man has come forward claiming he was the victim of a similar assault.

Monterrious Harris has filed a $5 million lawsuit against the officers and the City of Memphis, claiming he was attacked on Jan. 4, just three days before Nichols was beaten. 

"The officer, he was like, 'Stop reaching for the gun,'" Harris said. "And I know that I didn't have a gun. I didn't know what else to do besides just let them do what they were doing to me."
