Tyre Nichols was a suspect in the death of his girlfriend, Shayla Smith.

Police have arrested and charged Tyre Nichols with the murder of his girlfriend, Shayla Smith. Nichols is a former New England Patriots tight end who had recently been signed to the Baltimore Ravens. The couple had been dating since high school, but their relationship came to an end when Shayla broke up with him in May 2020. It was shortly after this that she was found dead in her apartment.

Nichols has since been charged with murder and will be arraigned at the Superior Court of Baltimore County on October 27th. Police are still investigating his possible involvement in other crimes, including the disappearance of a second woman who went missing around the same time as Shayla. Although Tyre Nichols has been named as a suspect in her disappearance, he has not yet been charged with any crimes related to it.
