I was advised that the other five (5) of?cers request a letter similar to the one obtained by the CPPA through the Prosecutors Of?ce for the dispatchers and Of?cer Cunningham before giving any statement to us in this matter. On Wednesday May 20, 2015 I spoke with Assistant County Prosecutor Matt Meyer relaying the request of CPPA for the ?ve (5) of?cers. APA Meyer advised me that he is unwilling to offer the remaining of?cers any letters, stating that they are not facing any criminal charges and precedent wiil not be set in giving letters of immunity (or the like) to of?cers for doing their job. After speaking with APA Meyer I had a phone conversation with CPPA Attorney Moriarty. Before I was able to inform him of APA Meyer?s decision he informed me that his clients (Lentz, Kitko. Griffin, Roman, and Zverina) will be willing to come in for an interview pending a final conversation with his clients prior to appearing. I will follow up with Attorney Moriarty on Thursday May 21, 2015 in scheduling the potential interviews. l/l/l/SI/I/l/l James Mackey, Detective CUYAHOGA COUNTY OFFICE FILE NO. 15-00004 DATE 0501/2015 FROM Detective David Jacobs TO Sergeant Eugene Sharpe SUBJECT Second meeting with the Cuyahoga County Medical Examiners Of?ce (CCMEO) COPIES T0 File The following investigation is in conjunction with the investigation of the Cleveland Police Department (CPD), Use of Deadly Force incident which took place at the Cudell Recreation Center (CRC) on November 2014 at approximately 3:30pm involving Tamir Rice (decedent) A meeting took place at the CCMEO on May 215?, 2015, at approximately 10:OOam. This marks the second occasion to meet with Trace Evidence Supervisor Curtiss Jones, a representative from the photography lab (CCMEO) and the Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner Dr. Thomas Gilson. Also present representing the Cuyahoga County Sheriff's Of?ce (0080), Sergeant David Lisy, Detective Homer Allen. Detective John Morgan and the writer. The meeting was a follow up to discuss trace evidence clothing) with respect to bullet defects on clothing which was being worn at the time of the aforementioned incident. The CCMEO agreed to provide the 0080 with an exhibit which will'depict Tamir Rice?s body (drawing) to include actual photographs of the clothing worn by Rice at the time of the incident. We anticipate the exhibit to indicate the singie bullet wound to Rice with the actual photograph of the clothing worn at the time of the incident. We also anticipate the clothing photographs to be superimposed next the generic drawing of Tamir Rice. Both of which will indicate an approximate location of the bullet defect to include the bullet wound itself. The CCMEO said the exhibit will take a few weeks to complete at which time they will contact the investigators. Respectfully Submitted, Detective David Jacobs 2nd meeting at the CCMEO -- - . cow?

Ray Diaz D7S820, TPOX, 179, FGA, and D22S1045 using the Promega PowerPlex Fusion ampli?cation system. Results and Conclusion: Presumptive test indicated the presence Of blood in items 2 and 3. NO con?rmatory testing was performed. The partial DNA pro?le obtained from item 8 is a mixture with major and minor components. The major DNA component in this mixture matches the DNA pro?le Of Tamir Rice (item 5). In the absence of an identical twin, Tamir Rice is the source of the major DNA component in this mixture to a reasonable degree of scienti?c certainty. The genetic loci Penta E, CSF 1P0, D5S818, TPOX, FGA, and D22S1045 were not used for statistical calculations. The minor DNA component is inconclusive due to insuf?cient information. The DNA pro?le obtained from item 9.2 is a mixture with major and minor components. The major DNA component in this mixture is unknown. Tamir Rice cannot be excluded as a possible contributor to the minor DNA component in this mixture. The probability Of selecting an unrelated individual at random from the population as a possible contributor to the minor DNA component in this mixture is approximately in 2 million in Caucasians, in 64,850 in African Americans, and 1 in 4 million in HiSpanics. The genetic loci Penta E, D78820, TPOX, D19S433, and FGA were not used for statistical calculations. The DNA pro?le Obtained from item 9.3 is a mixture of at least three individuals. Tamir Rice cannot be excluded as a possible contributor to this mixture. The probability of selecting an unrelated individual at random from the population as a possible contributor to this mixture is approximately 1 in 485 million in Caucasians, in 18 million in African Americans, and in 918 million in Hispanics. NO DNA pro?le foreign to Tamir Rice was Obtained from item 2. The partial DNA pro?le obtained from item 3 is inconclusive due to insuf?cient information.
