Vice President Kamala Harris will travel to Memphis, Tennessee, to attend Tyre Nichols' funeral on Wednesday. Nichols family attorney Ben Crump said Nichols' parents spoke with Harris on the phone for over 30 minutes.

Harris and Nichols' mother, RowVaughn Wells, "spoke exclusively, and during this emotional time, the Vice President was able to console Ms. Wells and even help her smile," Crump said in a statement.

Nichols, 29, died on Jan, 10, three days after he was beaten by Memphis police officers at a traffic stop.
