It's been five months since Tamir was shot to death in the park. The family held a press conference and justice rally today.
Five months and the criminal investigation is still not complete. Tamir has not been buried.
The family filed a civil suit against the city of Cleveland and the two Cleveland officers; the city has asked for the suit to be suspended until the criminal investigation is complete.
The family attorney is objecting to that request as nothing in the Constitution mandates that a civil suit can't be pursued during a criminal investigation. The objection also states that the Cuyahoga County Sheriff “has had no communication with the family of Tamir Rice concerning their investigation.”
