Twelve-year-old Tamir E. Rice was murdered in Cleveland, Ohio, on November 22, 2014, by twenty-six-year-old white police officer Timothy Loehmann. When Loehmann arrived on the scene, he shot Rice almost immediately because he was carrying a toy gun replica. Loehmann and Frank Garmback, 46, were the two officers responding to a police dispatch call about a male subject carrying a gun. At the Cudell Recreation Center, a park managed by the Public Works Department of the City of Cleveland, a caller reported that a male individual was brandishing "a pistol" at unidentified individuals. He remarks about the pistol twice during the call: once at the start and once again in the middle. "It's probably fake." The caller states toward the end of the two-minute call that "he is probably a juvenile," but neither of these statements was relayed to Loehmann and Garmback by the dispatcher. The officers stated that they both yelled "show me your hands" through the open patrol car window as soon as they arrived at the scene. Loehmann went on to say that Rice seemed to be attempting to draw rather than reveal his hands, saying, "I knew it was a gun and I knew it was coming out." Rice was struck once in the torso by one of the officer's two shots. Judge Ronald B. Adrine claims that when Rice is shot, the zone car carrying Patrol Officers Loehmann and Garmback is still stopping on the video."The next day, Rice passed away.
