Tamir Rice’s family asks Justice Department to reopen investigation into 12-year-old’s death

FILE – In a Monday, Dec. 1, 2014 file photo, Tomiko Shine holds up a picture of Tamir Rice during a protest in Washington, D.C. A gazebo where Rice, a 12-year-old black boy with a pellet gun was fatally shot by a white Cleveland police officer, is expected to be dismantled beginning this week and shipped to a Chicago museum for display. The gazebo became a makeshift memorial to Rice, whose 2014 death sparked Black Lives Matter protests. An attorney says Tamir’s mother wanted the gazebo to become a symbol for what happened to him. Ex-city councilman Jay Westbrook said Monday, Sept. 12, 2016, he’s been coordinating the deconstruction with officials at Chicago’s Stony Island Arts Bank. He says a museum official will supervise the deconstruction, scheduled to begin Wednesday. (AP Photo/Jose Luis Magana, File)
