Cleveland marks 10 years since Tamir Rice was shot and killed by a police officer

Nov. 22, 2014. That date, 10 years ago today, is when 12-year-old Tamir Rice was shot and killed by a Cleveland police officer outside of the Cudell Recreation Center. For a decade, the story of what unfolded at Cudell has captured headlines for who was lost and the reaction it sparked. Police responded to the scene after a 911 caller reported “a guy with a pistol” who was pointing it at people, while also saying “it’s probably fake.” But dispatchers didn't relay all of that information to officers. It turned out Tamir had a pellet gun without the orange safety tip in his possession at the time of the shooting. Responding officers pulled up to the gazebo where Tamir was and within two seconds after he opened his passenger door, Officer Timothy Loehmann shot Tamir twice. Protests erupted within days of the shooting, followed by calls for both Loehmann and Officer Frank Garmback who was the driver to be fired. County Prosecutor Tim McGinty resisted calls from protesters and the family for him to step aside. Then in December 2015, 13 months after Tamir was killed, a grand jury decided not to return an indictment against the officers, sparking more backlash from some in the community. The U.S. Department of Justice would ultimately investigate the shooting, but in 2020 prosecutors found “insufficient evidence” for federal charges against the officers.
