Memphis, Tennessee is preparing for the release of a police video that may show the fatal beating of Tyre Nichols. Five former Memphis police officers have been charged with murder in connection to the death of the 24-year-old African-American man.

The video, which is expected to be released Friday, is anticipated to show the officers using excessive force on Nichols, who was unarmed. Nichols’ family and their legal team are set to speak publicly on the same day.

The five officers, all of whom are black, are accused of using excessive force to restrain Nichols, who died in the hospital days later. While the officers have denied any wrongdoing, some have argued that racism may have been a factor in the death of Nichols.

The release of the video and the subsequent response from the public will be closely monitored. It is expected to provide further insight into the death of Tyre Nichols and the actions of the five former officers.
