Three former Memphis police officers were convicted Thursday in the 2023 fatal beating of Tyre Nichols, but were acquitted of the harshest charges they faced for a death that sparked national protests and calls for broad changes in policing.

Three Memphis, Tennessee police officers were convicted in the fatal beating of Tyre Nichols in a traffic stop last year, reported NBC News. The three officers, Demetrius Haley, Justin Smith, and Taddarius Bean were convicted of witness tampering.
