The investigation is finally completed and has been turned over to the prosecutor's office.
The Cuyahoga County sheriff's department said Wednesday its investigation into the shooting of Tamir Rice, which has stretched nearly four months, is complete.
"My department has been diligently working on the investigation. We have concluded our work and I have turned it over to the prosecutor who will take it through the next steps," Cuyahoga County Sheriff Clifford Pinkney said in a statement.
The county prosecutor has said the case will be presented to a grand jury that will determine if criminal charges are filed.
Tamir's family currently has a civil rights lawsuit pending in connection with the case. Earlier this week, a federal judge delayed part of that lawsuit, citing concern for the officers' rights against self-incrimination. The judge's ruling doesn't delay the lawsuit as it relates to the city of Cleveland.
