Tyre Nichols’ mother says her heart ‘hurts’ to hear son calling for her in bodycam footage

Tyre Nichols’ mother has recalled how her “heart hurt” to hear him call for her in police bodycam video.

The 29-year-old skateboarder and amateur photographer was beaten to death by Memphis police officers on 7 January.

Five officers have been fired and indicted on murder and kidnapping charges.

A sixth officer, who is white, was suspended with pay pending a hearing, and a seventh officer has been relieved of duty without pay.

“To hear that he was calling my name and I wasn’t there to protect him... hurts me to my core,” RowVaughn Wells told The View.
