Monterrious Harris, a 22-year-old Memphis man, has filed a $5 million lawsuit against the city and five former officers charged in the fatal arrest of Tyre Nichols. The lawsuit alleges that Harris was punched, kicked, and slammed onto a concrete walkway three days before the fatal arrest, and that one of the officers involved in the fatal beating of Nichols took photos of Harris after he was pepper-sprayed, kicked, and hit by police. The lawsuit seeks damages for Harris' physical and emotional injuries, and for the violation of his civil rights.
