Nearly three months after the beating death of Tyre Nichols by Memphis police officers in January, a California skatepark will officially be renamed in his honor.
The Sacramento City Council unanimously voted Tuesday to rename the Regency Community Skate Park to the Tyre Nichols Skate Park. Nichols, a Sacramento native, was an avid skateboarder and "spent numerous hours of his youth skating and building friendships there," according to the city's commission report.
