The Tamir Rice Foundation and the Jun Wang Justice Committee held a memorial press conference Monday at the Cuyahoga County Justice Center to demand justice for both families.
“In order for justice to be had in all the various municipalities where there have been these egregious miscarriages of justice, we need a centralized authority to investigate and to prosecute and that is supposed to be housed right here and that is our call today,” said activist Josiah Quarles at Monday night's memorial.
