MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — Authorities say a man who was hospitalized after being injured during a confrontation with Memphis police officers during a traffic stop has died. The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation says 29-year-old Tyre D. Nichols, of Memphis, “succumbed to his injuries” on Tuesday. Authorities haven’t disclosed the nature of his injuries. TBI officials said Sunday that the agency began a use-of-force investigation surrounding the arrest at the request of Shelby County District Attorney General Steve Mulroy. Memphis police say two confrontations occurred between Nichols and officers who arrested him Saturday night. After the arrest, Nichols complained of shortness of breath and was taken to a hospital in critical condition.
