Timothy Loehmann, the former Cleveland police officer who fatally shot 12-year-old Tamir Rice in 2014, has been fired from his position as a ranger with the Snowshoe Resort Community District in West Virginia. The district's board of directors released the below statement on Friday: "Ranger Tim Loehmann is no longer employed by the SRCD. The Board of the SRCD met on December 19, 2025, to discuss personnel matters, and then voted unanimously to terminate the employment of Tim Loehmann effective immediately. Tamir Rice was playing with an airsoft pellet gun outside the Cudell Recreation Center in November 2014 when Loehmann shot him. The boy died the next day. The Cleveland Division of Police fired Loehmann in 2017 " not for the shooting, but for lying on his job application and failing to disclose that Independence police had previously deemed him unfit for duty.
