Civil rights leaders, community leaders and social media users expressed outrage Monday after a grand jury failed to bring charges against a Cleveland officer in the death of Tamir Rice

An Ohio Grand Jury has declined to file charges against a police officer in the death of Tamir Rice, a 12-year-old boy who was fatally shot last year, Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Timothy McGinty announced Monday, reports The New York Times.

The expert also found that the 12-year-old's toy gun was not visible to either Loehmann or his partner, Frank Garmback, the report notes. And contrary to findings by experts hired by the lawyers for the police department, Loehmann shot Tamir less than a second after exiting the patrol car, not 1.7 seconds.

"I saw the weapon in his hands coming out of his waistband and the threat to my partner and myself was real and active."

Lawyers for Tamir Rice's family have released two outside reports that call his shooting "unreasonable and unjustified."

As the hashtag trends among #BlackLivesMatter supporters, a march is being held in Cleveland to call for the removal of Prosecutor Tim McGinty from Rice's case.
