Grand jury clears officer in Tamir Rice killing
A grand jury declined to indict white rookie patrolman Timothy Loehmann in the 2014 fatal shooting of 12 year old Tamir Rice in Cleveland. Prosecutor Tim McGinty cited a lack of criminal conduct amid a “perfect storm” of error and miscommunication and noted there was no way to know the gun was fake. The decision follows a video that sparked national outrage and audits the police response, with reforms including dashboard and body cameras and a civil rights suit by Rice’s family.
