A fourth Memphis Fire Department employee is under investigation related to the death of 29-year-old Tyre Nichols, Memphis' chief legal officer said yesterday. The identity, rank and status of the employee is unknown. Chief legal officer Jennifer Sink told the Commercial Appeal that the individual came to the scene “much later and provided medical care and transported Mr. Nichols to the hospital.” She said the department has not "come to a final decision as to the action against him." Sink also told area media that officials may wrap up their internal investigations in the "next couple of weeks."
