另外两名孟菲斯警察，包括看到的白人警察遭遇提尔·尼科尔斯的交通堵塞官员们周一宣布，随着对1月7日尼科尔斯之死的调查继续进行，孟菲斯消防队的三名人员被解除职务，并被解雇。
孟菲斯警方周一透露，事件发生一天后，警官普雷斯顿·亨菲尔和一名身份不明的警官被解除职务。
孟菲斯消防局周一也宣布，解雇了两名急救人员和一名中尉，他们在尼科尔斯被打躺在地上时未能正确评估他的伤势。
据称，白人Hemphill在冲突中使用了泰瑟枪。在他自己的人体摄像机视频中，可以看到Hemphill沿着马路追逐Nichols，但随后又返回到最初的交通堵塞现场。
Hemphill在他的身体摄像机视频中说了两次，“我希望他们踩他的a -”
根据孟菲斯警方的说法，Hemphill和身份不明的第七官员尚未被解雇或指控。
该部门在一份声明中说:“自2023年1月8日调查开始以来，普雷斯顿·亨菲尔警官和其他警官的行为和不行为一直是并将继续是调查的主题。”
其他五名警察都是黑人，他们之前被解雇，并被指控与尼科尔斯在交通站殴打有关的二级谋杀罪。29岁的尼科尔斯三天后去世。

赫姆菲尔的律师李·杰拉尔德早些时候说，赫姆菲尔是尼科尔斯最初拦截的第三名警官。周五发布的第一个人体摄像镜头来自Hemphill的设备。

杰拉尔德早些时候在一份声明中说:“根据部门规定，汉姆菲尔警官启动了他的人体摄像头。”。“他从未出现在第二现场。他正在配合官员的调查。”
孟菲斯消防队周一透露了更多关于他们成员在事件中行为的细节。
根据消防部门的说法，孟菲斯消防调度在晚上8点31分接到孟菲斯警察局的电话，回应一个人在E. Raines路和Ross路的交叉口被胡椒喷雾。消防部门说，一辆救护车到达现场，然后被指引到警察遇到尼科尔斯的第二个地点。
根据消防部门的说法，EMT-Basic Robert Long和EMT-Advanced JaMicheal Sandridge制作了Tyre Nichols被铐在地上靠在警车上的场景，而一名身份不明的救护车司机和Michelle Whitaker中尉在晚上8点41分左右留在车内。
该部门表示，急救人员在“与尼科尔斯先生进行了初步互动”后，要求另一辆救护车做出回应，而另一辆救护车直到晚上8点55分才到达现场
孟菲斯FD在一份声明中说:“我们的调查结论是，两名急救人员根据电话的最初性质(被喷胡椒的人)和他们在现场被告知的信息做出反应，未能对尼科尔斯先生进行充分的患者评估。”
该部门表示，龙、桑德里奇和惠特克都因违反“众多MFD政策和协议”而被解雇。
孟菲斯消防局在一份声明中说:“他们那天晚上在现场的行动或不行动不符合孟菲斯消防局的期望，也不反映孟菲斯消防局的男男女女每天为我们的社区提供的杰出服务。”
三名前消防部门人员尚未被起诉。
尼科尔斯的继父罗德尼·威尔斯告诉美国广播公司现场新闻他认为“在整个事件中活跃的每一个人”...应该收费。”
尼科尔斯家人的律师本·克伦普和安东尼奥·罗马努奇说，他们对亨菲尔被解除职务但没有被解雇或起诉感到非常失望。律师们还质疑为什么孟菲斯警方没有立即宣布Hemphill的名字或他被解除职务。
"为什么他的身份以及他在提尔之死中所扮演的角色现在才被曝光?"他们在一份声明中说。“我们从一开始就要求孟菲斯警察局对家庭和社区保持透明——这个消息似乎表明他们没有应付自如。这无疑回避了一个问题，即为什么参与这一野蛮袭击的白人警官受到保护，不受公众关注，而且迄今为止，也没有足够的纪律和问责。孟菲斯警察局欠我们所有人一个答案。”
谢尔比县地方检察官史蒂夫·穆尔罗伊周一在一份声明中说，调查正在进行中，可能会提出更多指控。
地方检察官办公室表示:“我们正在调查所有在提尔·尼科尔斯被殴打之前、期间和之后参与事件的个人。”。“这包括最初遭遇时在场但至今未被起诉的警官，孟菲斯消防队人员，以及后来参与准备事故文件的人员。”
“地方检察官办公室非常迅速但彻底地对那些罪行简单明了并直接导致尼科尔斯死亡的人提出指控，但调查绝不会结束，”该办公室补充说。
7 officers involved in Tyre Nichols' death relieved of duty, 3 Memphis FD members fired
Two additional Memphis police officers, including the white officer seen encountering Tyre Nichols during his traffic stop, were relieved of duty and three Memphis Fire Department personnel were fired as the investigation into the Jan. 7 death of Nichols continues, officials announced Monday.
Officer Preston Hemphill and an unidentified officer were relieved of their duty a day after the incident, Memphis PD revealed Monday.
The Memphis Fire Department also announced Monday that it fired two EMTs and a lieutenant who responded to the scene for failing to properly assess Nichols as he lay beaten on the ground.
Hemphill, who is white, allegedly deployed his Taser during the confrontation. In his own body camera video, Hemphill is seen chasing Nichols down the road, but then turns back to the scene of the initial traffic stop.
Hemphill was heard on his body camera video saying twice, "I hope they stomp his a--."
Hemphill and the unidentified seventh officer haven't been fired or charged, according to the Memphis PD.
"Officer Preston Hemphill and [the] other officer's actions and inactions have been and continue to be the subject of this investigation since its inception on January 8, 2023," the department said in a statement.
Five other officers, who are all Black, were previously fired and charged with second-degree murder in connection with Nichols' beating at a traffic stop. Nichols, 29, died three days later.

Hemphill's attorney, Lee Gerald, said earlier that Hemphill was the third officer at Nichols' initial traffic stop. The first body camera footage released Friday was from Hemphill's device.
"As per departmental regulations Officer Hemphill activated his bodycam," Gerald said earlier in a statement. "He was never present at the second scene. He is cooperating with officials in this investigation."
The Memphis FD revealed more details Monday about their members' actions during the incident.
Memphis Fire Dispatch received a call from the Memphis PD at 8:31 p.m., to respond to a person pepper sprayed at the intersection of E. Raines Road and Ross Road, according to the fire department. An ambulance arrived at the scene and then directed to the second location where the cops encountered Nichols, the fire department said.
EMT-Basic Robert Long and EMT-Advanced JaMicheal Sandridge made the scene where Tyre Nichols was located handcuffed on the ground leaning against a police vehicle, while an unidentified ambulance driver and Lt. Michelle Whitaker remained inside the vehicle at approximately 8:41 p.m., the according to the fire department.
The department said the EMTs requested another ambulance to respond after their "initial interaction with Mr. Nichols," and the additional ambulance didn't arrive on the scene until 8:55 p.m.
"Our investigation has concluded that the two EMTs responded based on the initial nature of the call (person pepper sprayed) and information they were told on the scene and failed to conduct an adequate patient assessment of Mr. Nichols," Memphis FD said in a statement.
Long, Sandridge and Whitaker were all fired for violating "numerous MFD Policies and Protocols," the department said.
"Their actions or inactions on the scene that night do not meet the expectations of the Memphis Fire Department and are not reflective of the outstanding service the men and women of the Memphis Fire Department provide daily in our community," Memphis FD said in a statement.
The three former fire department personnel haven't been charged.
Nichols' stepfather, Rodney Wells, told ABC News Live on Friday night that he thinks "everyone [who] was active in the whole scene ... should be charged."
Attorneys for Nichols' family, Ben Crump and Antonio Romanucci, said they were extremely disappointed that Hemphill was relieved of duty but not fired or charged. The lawyers are also questioning why the Memphis police did not immediately announce Hemphill's name or that he was relieved of duty.
"Why is his identity and the role he played in Tyre's death just now coming to light?" they said in a statement. "We have asked from the beginning that the Memphis Police Department be transparent with the family and the community -- this news seems to indicate that they haven't risen to the occasion. It certainly begs the question why the white officer involved in this brutal attack was shielded and protected from the public eye, and to date, from sufficient discipline and accountability. The Memphis Police Department owes us all answers."
Shelby County District Attorney Steve Mulroy said in a statement Monday that the investigation was ongoing and more charges could be filed.
"We are looking at all individuals involved in the events leading up to, during, and after the beating of Tyre Nichols," the district attorney's office said. "This includes the officer present at the initial encounter who has not -- so far -- been charged, Memphis Fire Department personnel, and persons who participated in preparing documentation of the incident afterward."
"The DA's Office worked extraordinarily swiftly but thoroughly to charge those whose offenses were plain and clear and directly contributed to the death of Mr. Nichols, but in no way is this investigation over," the office added.
