Service Set for Tyre Nichols, Who Died After Memphis Arrest

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) A memorial service was planned Tuesday for Tyre Nichols, whose death after a confrontation with police officers during a traffic stop led to protests.

A service for Nichols, 29, was set for noon in Memphis, WMC-TV reported. It's being held following protests at the National Civil Rights Museum on Monday and in front of a police station on Saturday, news outlets reported.

I am a man! Tyre was a man! people chanted outside the museum amid a large line to get in the facility on Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Family called for the release of body-worn camera recordings and for the officers to be fired and charged..

Its just a nightmare, said Nichols sister Keyana Dixson. I just want justice for my brother. Please.

The death has also gained the attention of civil rights attorney Ben Crump, who said in a statement Monday that he is representing Nichols family.
