Cleveland Sues Tamir Rice’s Family for Ambulance Expense

Last December, a Cleveland officer killed 12-year-old Tamir Rice and forever shattered a family’s sense of peace in the process. Now police expect that same grieving family to foot the bill for the medical care provided to their dying son.

The City of Cleveland has filed a creditor’s claim against the “estate” of the young boy. They expect the Rice family to pay five hundred dollars for “emergency medical services rendered as the decedent’s last dying expense.”
