Tyre Nichols, whose violent arrest and subsequent death prompted widespread grief and outrage, will be laid to rest Wednesday in Memphis. Nichols died on Jan. 10, three days after he was beaten by police at a traffic stop. Five officers were fired and charged with second-degree murder.
His funeral will be attended by Vice President Kamala Harris, the White House announced Tuesday, along with several other administration officials. Members of Nichols' family, along with the Rev. Al Sharpton and civil rights attorney Ben Crump, are set to speak.
Nichols, who was 29 years old, worked for FedEx and had a 4-year-old son. He grew up in Sacramento but moved to Memphis right before the pandemic to join his mother and stepfather.
