US EditionMLive answers reader questions about Christopher Schurr’s murder case
- A jury found three of the five former Memphis police officers not guilty on all state charges related to the deadly assault of Tyre Nichols that occurred early last year near his residence.
- The officers, all Black and members of the disbanded Scorpion Unit, faced state charges including second-degree murder and were federally indicted for civil rights violations after Nichols was beaten following a traffic stop.
- Body camera footage shows Nichols was chased, yanked from his car, pepper-sprayed, tasered, punched, and kicked before dying three days later, with some officers exchanging a high five after Nichols was injured on the ground.
- The U.S. Justice Department found the Memphis Police Department used excessive force and discriminated against Black people, and Nichols' family is suing the five officers, the city, and police chief for $550 million.
- The acquittals mark the latest state trial development, while federal convictions and pleas for the same officers continue, and sentencing will occur at a later date.
