CLEVELAND, Ohio Juanita Rucker said she was praying as she watched a judge in Minnesota read the jury’s verdict in former police officer Derek Chauvin’s trial.
Rucker, a Cleveland resident, knows the pain of losing a loved one like George Floyd’s family. Gathered with dozens of others at Public Square in downtown Cleveland on Tuesday evening, she identified herself as the godmother of Tamir Rice, a 12-year-old shot and killed by police outside Cudell Recreation Center in 2014. Nobody was criminally charged or convicted in Rice’s death.

DENVER â Even after explaining it, itâs hard to comprehend. It was out of a movie, literally, said Juanita Rucker who lives near the site of the crash. Who drives down a street and sees a car sitting on top of another car? Thatâs just bizarre.
Around 2:30 p.m. Monday, a black Lexus turned onto South Drayton Way off Iliff Avenue and somehow crashed into two cars, flipping one on its side.
One of those cars belonged to Troy Wingler. I was in my apartment and my roommate let me know that my car had been involved in an accident and came out to see that it has clearly been totaled, Wingler said.
