Did Tyre Nichols work at FedEx? Alleged Demetrius Haley wife claim explored 

Tyre Nichols’ recent death has left people worldwide in shock. The 29-year-old died three days after being brutally beaten by police officers at a traffic stop in Memphis, Tennessee. While many continue to wonder why the assault occurred, some netizens believe that the deceased was having an affair with the ex-wife of one of the police officers.

For the unversed, on the night of January 7, Tyre Nichols was returning home when he was stopped for reckless driving, according to the Memphis Police Department. He tried to break loose from the police officers but was eventually restrained and beaten by five cops.

In the bodycam footage, the now-deceased can be kicked, punched in the head, pepper sprayed, tasered, and struck multiple times with a baton. Three days later, Nichols succumbed to his injuries and passed away.

Police officers Justin Smith, Emmitt Martin III, Desmond Mills Jr., Tadarrius Bean, and Demetrius Haley have all been fired. They are also facing criminal charges that include second-degree murder and aggravated assault.

Many tried to investigate the death of Tyre Nichols as they believed the circumstances had racist undertones. Now, however, some netizens are claiming there was a personal motive behind the brutal attack on Nichols.
