NEW YORK — The devastated parents of the Black man killed in a caught-on-video beating by Memphis, Tennessee, police officers recounted the horrors of his death Saturday during a Harlem visit where they once more demanded justice for their slain son.
“This has been a very difficult time for our family,” said RowVaughn Wells, the mother of slain 29-year-old Tyre Nichols. “I’m still trying to process all of this and it hasn’t been easy. I’ve had my good days, I have my bad days. But the only thing that keeps me going is all the prayers I’ve been receiving.”
The victim’s brokenhearted dad Rodney Wells recalled the gruesome sight of his son’s battered corpse after the fatal Jan. 7 attack on the 6-foot-3, 140-pound victim in a supposed traffic stop turned homicide.
