Darius Chappell’s Death Under Investigation | Nashville News

A 34-year-old man, Darius Chappell, died after a high-stakes police arrest that sparked outrage and questions over the use of force and medical care. Officers say he resisted and fled during a felony parole violation bust at a Burger King, leading to a chaotic arrest involving multiple officers and a K9 unit. Despite being cleared for booking, Chappell later died in custody — prompting his family, the NAACP, and now state investigators to demand answers. The K9 officer is on administrative leave, and the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation has taken over the probe. Chappell’s three sons are left grieving as a GoFundMe rises to cover funeral costs — a community in shock, demanding justice.
