Justice Department won’t reopen probe into Tamir Rice death

The Justice Department has said it will not reopen the federal investigation into the 2014 death of 12-year-old Tamir Rice, who was shot to death by Cleveland police, notifying Tamir's mother after she had participated in a federal training event for state prosecutors on investigating police misconduct cases. Attorneys for Tamir's mother Samaria sent four letters to top officials in the Justice Department and met with them last October in the hope of renewing federal interest in her son's death, and again in December.
