CLEVELAND, Ohio An appeals court on Thursday declined to reinstate former Cleveland police officer Timothy Loehmann, who shot 12-year-old Tamir Rice in 2014.
The city of Cleveland didn’t fire Loehmann for any action he took during the November 2014 killing of Rice, but rather for lying on his initial application about his reason for leaving his previous job at a suburban police department.
