The 8th District Court of Appeals in Cuyahoga County dismissed the Cleveland Police Patrolmen’s Association’s appeal of Loehmann’s firing Thursday.

That’s what team president and coach, Bill Sofranko, texted Randy Knight, an ex-player protesting the team’s inclusion of Timothy Loehmann, the former Cleveland police officer who killed 12-year-old Tamir Rice in 2014.

The Times further reports the department has not officially closed the case, adding further confusion. New York Times reporter Katie Benner helped break the story and she joined host Glenn Forbes on All Things Considered Friday.

The Tamir Rice Legacy Fund aims to connect youth with outlets for self-expression. Samaria Rice created the fund in honor of her son’s love of art and says she hopes it will keep his memory alive.

The incident quickly became a rallying point for a growing national conversation about violence against black people at the hands of the police, and Rice continues to be a source of inspiration for artists.

Barnett /ideastream/2019-06-03/tamir-rices-mother-petitions-against-rehiring-fired-officer The mother of 12-year-old Tamir Rice, who was killed by Cleveland Police officer Timothy Loehmann in 2014, delivered petitions to the Cleveland Police union Monday asking they stop their efforts to get Loehmann his job back, but the union has no plans to pull their support. Samaria Rice says Loehmann is reckless and a danger to the community as a police officer.
