New report: No one heard cop warn Tamir Rice before fatal shooting


The Cuyahoga County Sheriff's Office released a new report Saturday revealing new details in the fatal shooting of Tamir Rice, a 12-year-old black boy waving a toy gun, by a police officer in November. The investigation says that although Cleveland police insisted officer Tim Loehmann warned Rice before shooting him, no witnesses heard that, The New York Times reports.
The report did not make a recommendation as to whether Loehmann and his partner, Frank Garmback, should be charged with any crimes. A grand jury will decide whether the men should be indicted.
