Officials aren't ruling out more charges in Tyre Nichols' death, DA says

The Shelby County District Attorney's Office said Monday that more charges could be filed as part of the "ongoing investigation" into the death of Tyre Nichols, the Black man who died in Memphis three days after a traffic stop on Jan. 7.

Five Memphis police officers involved in the case were fired on Jan. 20 and are now facing criminal charges including second-degree murder. 

"The current charges do not preclude us from adding additional charges as more information is presented," the statement from the district attorney's office said. "We are looking at all individuals involved inn the events leading up to, during, and after the beating of Tyre Nichols."
