The mother of 12-year-old Tamir Rice is asking the Ohio Supreme Court to prevent the former Cleveland police officer who shot and killed her son more than six years ago from returning to the force.
The fatal incident happened on Nov. 22, 2014, when officers were dispatched to Cleveland Cudell Recreation Park after a 911 caller reported that a guy with a pistol was pointing what appeared to be a weapon at others. The caller told a dispatcher that it was probably a juvenile and the gun might be fake, though that information was never relayed to the officers.
