Apr 18, 20217:59Now PlayingTamir Rice's family wants the Justice Department to reopen his case.
In a letter sent to the Justice Department, Rice's family wrote:
"We ask that you re-open the investigation into the death of Tamir Rice. There is no statute of limitations on prosecuting Loehmann for killing Tamir in violation of his civil rights. See 18 U.S.C. 242. In making this plea, we are mindful that no one can guarantee a conviction and that prosecutions against police officers present special challenges. But it is vital for DOJ to establish that those who enforce our laws are subject to our laws. The police must be held accountable and prosecuted for criminal wrongdoing. This case involves the unjustified killing of a child and a prosecution that was thwarted through political abuse. Fortunately, it is not too late to correct this manifest injustice.
In December, the Justice Department decided it will not pursue federal criminal charges against the two Cleveland police officers who killed the 12-year-old in 2014.
