No indictment in Tamir Rice case
- 8 years ago
An Ohio grand jury has decided not to return an indictment in the 2014 police shooting death of 12-year-old Tamir Rice, prosecutor Tim McGinty said Monday.
Information that the gun the caller saw was probably not real and that the person holding it appeared to be a juvenile was not conveyed to Officers Timothy Loehmann and Frank Garmback, according to recordings that law enforcement released.
Kimberly Crawford, a 20-year veteran of the FBI and a former instructor at the agency's academy, writes that when the officers approached Tamir they were responding to a report of a male suspect with a gun he kept pulling from his pants.
"The after-acquired information - that the individual was 12 years old, and the weapon in question was an 'airsoft gun'- is not relevant to a constitutional review of Officer Loehmann's actions," she writes in one of the other reports posted Saturday.
