CLEVELAND — The city of Cleveland is asking Tamir Rice’s estate to pay $500 for his ambulance ride and medical services he received after he was shot by a police officer.

The city requested the money as the boy’s “last dying expense” in a creditor’s claim filed Wednesday in Cuyahoga (ky-uh-HOH’-guh) County Probate Court. The claim states the money is overdue.

A family attorney for the estate called the claim callous and insensitive as the 12-year-old was killed by the city’s own police officers.

The city’s police union president says the claim is unconscionable.

A city spokesman declined comment citing ongoing litigation.
