 Clevers said she also apologized to the family of Rice. White Sulphur Springs Deputy Police Chief Julian R. Beyer Jr. has been sworn in as the new police chief. Rice, who was black, pulled a gun outside a recreation center in Cleveland on November 22, 2014, but he was shot and killed by Lohman seconds after Lohman and his partner arrived. The officers, who are white, told investigators Lohman had shouted three times at Tamir to raise his hands.
