The mother of Tamir Rice is speaking out after learning that the former Cleveland police officer who shot and killed her 12-year-old son in 2014 is now working for two law enforcement agencies in West Virginia.
Timothy Loehmann was hired by the Gilmer County Sheriff's Office and the Snowshoe Resort Community District earlier this year, according to Cleveland-based civil rights attorney Subodh Chandra. He says Loehmann has been working since June.
Samaria Rice says she's devastated, and vowed to keep fighting to ensure Loehmann never wears a badge again.
"My son's name is Tamir Rice, and Timothy Loehmann will be forever connected to that," she told 3News.
Tamir was playing with an airsoft pellet gun outside the Cudell Recreation Center in November 2014 when Loehmann shot him, and the 12-year-old died the next day. Cleveland fired Loehmann in 2017 — not for the shooting, but for lying on his job application and failing to disclose that Independence police had previously deemed him unfit for duty.
Since then, Loehmann has been briefly hired by at least three other departments, but resigned each time amid public backlash.
