Vice President Kamala Harris to attend Tyre Nichols' funeral

Details: Nichols' funeral will take place 22 days after he died following the beating by Memphis Police Department officers.

• Nichols is survived by his mother, RowVaughn Wells, his stepfather, Rodney Wells, his brother and sister, and his 4-year-old son.
• He worked an evening shift at FedEx with his stepfather and loved skateboarding and photography.

The big picture: The officers' assault on Nichols, seen publicly in graphic and violent footage released by the city of Memphis on Friday, prompted shock, sadness, and outrage around the country.

• President Biden called it "yet another painful reminder of the profound fear and trauma, the pain, and the exhaustion that Black and Brown Americans experience every single day."
• The Memphis Police Department has so far relieved from duty seven officers who were involved in the traffic stop, including five who have been charged with second-degree murder and several other crimes.
• The department stressed in a statement on Monday that its investigation into Nichols' death is continuing, and additional charges and personnel changes are in the works.

• No official cause of death for Nichols has been issued by the Shelby County medical examiner's office, but an independent autopsy found that "Tyre suffered extensive bleeding caused by a severe beating" and died on Jan. 10, according to attorneys hired by Nichols' family.
