Tamir Rice’s Killer Cop Timothy Loehmann Just Can’t Keep A Job

The police officer who shot and killed 12-year-old Tamir Rice in 2014 is once again out of a job.

According to WVVA, Timothy Loehmann resigned from the White Sulphur Springs Police Department in West Virginia on Monday, marking the third time in six years he’s left a police department due to backlash from his hiring.

“At the request and recommendation of the Chief of Police for the City of White Sulphur Springs, Timothy Loehmann was hired as a probationary Police Officer and an at-will employee for the City of White Sulphur Springs,” Mayor Kathy Glover said in a statement to WVVA. “As of today, Monday, July 1, 2024, Timothy Loehmann has resigned his position and is no longer an employee with the City of White Sulphur Springs. Since this is an employment matter, I will have no further comment.”

Tamir Rice was shot and killed by former Cleveland police officer Timothy Loehmann in November 2014 after he mistook his fake gun for a real firearm. While Loehmann was never charged with killing Tamir, he has been shut down at every attempt to re-enter law enforcement.

In May 2017, Loehmann was fired for lying on his application with the Cleveland police department. According to Cleveland, he failed to reveal that he was allowed to resign from a suburban department instead of being fired at the end of a six-month probationary period.
