A judge in Cleveland on Thursday found probable cause that police officer Timothy Loehmann should face murder, involuntary manslaughter, reckless homicide, negligent homicide, and dereliction of duty charges in the shooting death of 12-year-old Tamir Rice last November. The judge also ruled that probable cause exists to charge Loehmann’s partner, officer Frank Garmback, with negligent homicide and dereliction of duty.

However, Judge Ronald B. Adrine, presiding judge of the Municipal Court, said he did not have the power to order the officers’ arrests without complaints being filed by a prosecutor.

The ruling came after a group of activists and community leaders—the ‘Cleveland 8’—on Tuesday asked the court to have the officers arrested under a rarely used Ohio law that allows “a private citizen having knowledge of the facts” to start the process by filing an affidavit with a court. They argued that the widely seen video of an officer killing Tamir while he played with a toy gun in a park had given nearly everyone knowledge of the facts.

NBC News reports that “In his 10-page ruling, Adrine called the video ‘hard to watch,’ saying he was ‘thunderstruck by how quickly this turned deadly.'”

Adrine also noted how long Tamir was left to lie wounded on the ground with no indication that anyone was trying to help him.

“It is difficult to discern, because of the quality of the tape, what, if any, first aid anyone renders to Rice during these eight minutes,” Adrine wrote. “Nearly fourteen minutes ultimately expire between the time that Tamir is shot and the time that he is removed from the park.”
