Memphis police officers faced state charges, including second-degree murder and aggravated assault, in the fatal beating of Tyre Nichols.

The acquittal Wednesday of three former Memphis police officers of state charges in the fatal beating of Tyre Nichols is the latest development in a case that has prompted calls for police reforms and a continuing quest for justice by his family more than two years after the 29-year-old Black man's death.

The former Memphis police officers in the Tyre Nichols state case were found not guilty by an out-of-town jury.
