Rodney Row Vaughn is Tyre Nichols’s stepfather. Even if Rodney is not the biological Father of Nichols, he loves him like his own son.
During a protest in Memphis, Tennessee, Rodney Wells stood beside the hospital beside a picture of Nichols. No Father or mother should ever have to witness what Rodney claimed he saw on the video that day.
His stepfather, Rodney Wells, gave a picture of Nichols in the hospital with blood on his face and what appeared to be a swollen eye. According to his mother’s statement on Monday, he was put on a breathing machine.
