3 Cleveland Police Officers Facing Administrative Charges in Tamir Rice Case
By JULIA JACOBO - Jan 13, 2017, 9:31 PM ET
Three Cleveland police officers are facing administrative charges following an internal investigation into the death of 12-year-old Tamir Rice, who was shot and killed by police while carrying a toy gun in November 2014.
The charges were brought against Cleveland police officers Timothy Loehmann, Frank Garmback and William Cunningham, who were all on the scene when Rice was shot, city officials said in a press conference Friday afternoon. The city's Quality Control Office, Integrity Control Section and Critical Incident Review Committee reviewed the case and recommended administrative charges, the mayor's office said in a press release.
In December 2015, Cleveland Mayor Frank Jackson announced that the review would be conducted, saying, "People are upset, and legitimately and rightfully so."
Cleveland Police Chief Calvin Williams reviewed the findings of the report and referred them to the Department of Public Safety for a final determination on the appropriate disciplinary action.
