CLEVELAND, Ohio The Cleveland Community Police Commission has joined the chorus of Northeast Ohio officials calling for the Justice Department to re-open a federal civil rights investigation into a former Cleveland police officer’s killing of 12-year-old Tamir Rice.
Ten of the commission’s 12 members voted to send the letter that was delivered Monday to the head of the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division in Washington and the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Cleveland asking them to revive the probe following reports that officials in former President Donald Trump’s DOJ let the investigation stall in his final months in office and then closed the case after he lost the 2020 election.

Cleveland City Council on Monday appointed Delores Gray, a community advocate in the city’s Central neighborhood, to fill Phyllis Cleveland’s seat representing Ward 5.
Cleveland recommended Gray as her replacement, following an often-invoked council tradition in which an outgoing member recommends a successor to serve out his or her term. Cleveland announced her resignation last week, citing health issues.
Gray is a community engagement coordinator for Care Alliance Health Center, a medical provider with offices in Central and Downtown Cleveland, she said. She serves on the Cuyahoga Metropolitan Housing Authority’s Progressive Action Council, a resident advocacy organization. She also has served on the board of Burten, Bell, Carr, the community development corporation for the Central and Kinsman neighborhoods.
