Former Durham police chief in national spotlight

She leads investigation into Tyre Nichol’s death

Memphis Police Chief Cerelyn “C.J.” Davis spent five years in the Bull City and now has found herself in the middle of a national firestorm—the beating death of a man after a traffic stop by five of her officers. She called the incident “heinous, reckless and inhumane.” She fired the officers and disbanded their special unit. WRAL reporter Sarah Krueger talks about Davis’ time serving Durham and how the experience prepared her for this moment in history.
