In a tweet posted at 14:37 UTC, Congressman Carter reflected on the tragic death of Tamir Rice. He stated, “Today marks 10 years since 12-year-old Tamir Rice was tragically killed by a police officer while playing with a toy gun.

Congressman Carter tweeted, “#LincolnBeach is an integral part of our community’s history, and I’m proud to have secured millions of federal dollars to revitalize it.
