Ex-Cleveland Officer Fired from West Virginia Ranger Position

The former Cleveland officer Timothy Loehmann, who fatally shot 12-year-old Tamir Rice in 2014, was fired from his position as a ranger at a West Virginia resort, marking the fourth time he left a department due to public backlash. Rice’s death, which sparked protests over police treatment of Black individuals, led to a $6 million settlement for his family. Loehmann had previously been dismissed for lying on his police application and faced similar criticism in other roles. His latest firing follows a history of controversial employment in law enforcement.
