Cleveland Police told reporters Monday that they will not yet release surveillance video of the shooting of 12-year-old Tamir Rice.
A Cleveland Police officer shot Rice in the abdomen Saturday afternoon after several people called to report that someone was waving a gun and pointing it at people at the Cudell Recreation Center on Cleveland's west side.
Cleveland Police Patrolman Association president Jeff Follmer said the boy died at the hospital early Sunday morning.
The Cleveland Division of Police Use of Deadly Force Investigation Team is investigating and the officers involved have been placed on paid administrative leave.
The surveillance video "is very clear on what took place," Deputy Chief Ed Tomba said during the press conference.
Officials said Monday morning that the video had been shown to a representative of the Rice family, who will describe it to to the family. Then, the family will decide whether to watch it themselves before it is released to the public.
Officials said that the video will be released, but they did not offer a timetable. They did say that they aim for their investigation to be complete in 90 days.
The Cuyahoga County Prosecutor's Office is investigating the shooting, and will turn all evidence over to a grand jury, which will decide whether to press charges.
Police have not released the name of the officer who shot the boy.
Chief Calvin Williams said during the press conference that parents must educate their children about guns. "Guns are not toys," he said.
"We must also make sure our children understand that we (Cleveland Police) are part of this community...we are out there to keep them safe," Williams added.
