A copy-right violation was placed on the entire body of the article. I have utilized the temp rewrite page to rewrite Talk:Killing of Tyre Nichols/Temp; though, it is not clear what the alleged violations are/were. A earwig report can be found ( link here) TL:DR violation unlikely. AgntOtrth ( talk) 04:55, 21 March 2023 (UTC)

https://www.npr.org/2023/05/03/1173857299/tyre-nichols-autopsy-memphis-police
The attorneys for the family of Tyre Nichols say the medical examiner's official autopsy report shows he died by injuries from blunt force trauma — which they say is "highly consistent" with their independent autopsy conducted in January.The family of the 29-year-old who died after being beaten by Memphis police officers was briefed on his autopsy results Wednesday, nearly four months after his death.
The Shelby County, Tenn., District Attorney's Office has not yet released results from the autopsy to the public. The DA's office did not respond to NPR's immediate request for comment on the results.
"We know now what we knew then. Tyre Nichols died from blunt force trauma and the manner of death was homicide," attorneys Ben Crump and Antonio Romanucci said in a statement sent to NPR.
Important content for the article. 72.14.126.22 ( talk) 06:28, 4 May 2023 (UTC)
I have reverted these changes by @ AgntOtrth:. Nichols was not simply subjected to a traffic stop; he was killed. That's the title of the article, that's what the article is about, and that needs to be included in the lead. We cannot omit the killing of Tyre Nichols from Killing of Tyre Nichols.
I also took issue with other edits to the lead, including replacing the relative time to Nichols' death in the hospital with the date so as to further obscure its relation to the beating that caused his death.
It is well established by dozens and dozens of RSs that five officers of MPD killed Nichols. Persistently rewording the article to try to cast doubt on this established fact breaks WP:NPOV. Combefere ★ Talk 19:17, 3 June 2023 (UTC)
He was not struck with "batons" (plural/multiple. He was struck several times with a single baton, by 1 officer. The lead as I edited it is so clear as to what happened to Nichols. I find it incredulous that someone could read the lead and think anyone was attempting to down play what happened to him.
Could you please explain how January 10, 2023" obscures anything? Three days later was January 10, 2023, so there is no obscuring anything.
Again, what you reverted to is verifiably false. AgntOtrth ( talk) 21:29, 3 June 2023 (UTC)
"On January 7, 2023, Tyre Nichols, a 29-year-old black man, was fatally injured by police officers in Memphis, Tennessee, dying three days later. The officers, members of the Memphis Police Department (MPD) SCORPION unit, pulled Nichols from his car ..."with the rest unchanged? Firefangledfeathers ( talk / contribs) 00:16, 4 June 2023 (UTC)
Has any motive been established? Thanks. 32.209.69.24 ( talk) 04:21, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
