The Department of Justice and FBI on Wednesday announced a civil rights inquiry into a traffic stop in Memphis, Tennessee, that preceded the death of a Black man.
Tyre Nichols, 29, died three days after being taken to a hospital in critical condition following the Jan. 7 stop.
Nichols' family has retained civil rights attorney Ben Crump and have demanded the public release of body camera and any other surveillance footage from the stop.
Crump did not immediately respond to an NBC News request for comment regarding the civil rights investigation Wednesday.
Sierra Rogers, holding her daughter Khloe Rogers, wipes away tears as she speaks during a memorial service for her friend Tyre Nichols on Tuesday.
