Revision as of 06:39, 20 July 2006
Timothy Thomas was a 19-year old African-American man who was fatally shot by a Cincinnati police officer in 2001. Thomas was the fifteenth African-American man killed by the Cincinnati Police Department in five years, and his death led to community outrage that culminated with the 2001 Cincinnati Riots.
On April 8, 2001, Thomas was seen by Cincinnati police officers and recognized as being wanted on outstanding warrants. When Thomas realized he knew one of the officers, he fled. In a subsequent chase involving a dozen additional officers, Thomas was eventually confronted by Officer Steven Roach, who fired once at Thomas. After Thomas fell, Officer Roach called for an ambulance, and when Thomas arrived at University Hospital, he was declared dead.
Thomas was the father of one child and son of Angela Leisure.
