Police Department in West Virginia hires former Cleveland officer who fatally shot Tamir Rice
WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, West Virginia (WOIO) – Timothy Loehmann, the former Cleveland officer who fatally shot 12-year-old Tamir Rice, has been hired by the White Sulphur Springs Police Department in West Virginia.
Loemann shot Tamir Rice on Nov. 22, 2014, while playing with a pellet gun outside of the Cudell Recreation Center.
Although Loehmann wasn’t charged in relation to the shooting, and was cleared by both a Cuyahoga County grand jury and Cleveland’s Critical Incident Review Commission, he lost his job with Cleveland Police for lying on his application.
He was hired by the Village of Bellaire Police Department in 2018 and later withdrew from the force there.
In 2022, Loehmann withdrew his application to the Tioga Borough Police Department after news surfaced on social media.
Tamir Rice would have turned 22-year-old on June 25.
19 News reached out to the White Sulfur Springs for a statement but have yet hear back.

West Virginia organizations receive generous donation to support community programs
OHIO VALLEY (WTRF) — It was a generous donation that will benefit two local organizations in a big way.
On Friday, the Ohio Valley Jaycees Charitable Fund presented two checks totaling $10,000.
That money was split between the Appalachian Christmas Project and Ohio Valley Young Life.
The Young Life Organization serves teen parents and underprivileged and disabled children throughout the area.
The Appalachian Christmas Project offers hope and encouragement to area seniors, veterans, and the homeless. They distribute personal hygiene items to individuals, service agencies, and drug rehab centers.
We are so thankful for all of the generosity of the Jaycee’s fund. Young Life has been serving the Ohio Valley for over 50 years. We are using this for general programing, mentoring for teen parents and their children and disabled middle and high school students.”
Sean McCartney, Area Director, Young Life
We serve other areas as well. Anywhere from locally into Kentucky. But this is designated money for Ohio and Marshall County and I’m just thankful we have it because we serve so many in these two counties as well.”
Diane Reineke Stout, CEO Appalachian Christmas Project
Last year the Appalachian Christmas Project serves over 1,000 people in Ohio County and over 800 in Marshall County.
