Death in Custody Sparks Outrage | Nashville News

A 34-year-old man, Darius Chappell, died in custody after a brutal arrest involving a K-9 unit, with video footage showing officers holding him down while the dog bit him — he was crying out for help and begged for medical care that went unanswered. His sister and family are demanding justice, launching a GoFundMe and legal action, as a weekend rally erupted in outrage. The Clarksville officer involved is on administrative leave, and authorities are investigating — but the NAACP is calling for the FBI to intervene, insisting a federal probe is needed to ensure transparency and accountability. An autopsy is underway to determine the cause of death.
