CLEVELAND, Ohio — The family of 12-year-old Tamir Rice reacted Friday to the news of administrative charges against officers involved in the November 2014 shooting.
The news, they said, came as a shock to them.
Attorney Subodh Chandra, who is one of the attorneys representing Tamir Rice’s family, told the FOX 8 I-Team’s Peggy Gallek, he is disappointed the city’s police chief did not reach out to him prior to the news conference.
“The first time I heard is when Fox 8 called me,” Chandra said. “This adds to the family’s anxiety. I would have thought they would have had more decency and at least give us a heads up.”
Officers Timothy Loehmann and Frank Garmback were cleared of any criminal wrongdoing, but now face disciplinary charges, which include neglect of duty.
Chandra said the family wants the officers fired. They could face suspension or termination.
