Pictured to the right of Ms. Coleman in the red hat is the mother of Malissa Williams, and in the wheelchair is Malissa Williams' grandmother. Also pictured is Community Activist Ernie Smith, in the yellow shirt, of the Oppressed People's Nation, who led the rally and vigil, both organized by several groups including Black on Black Crime, the Oppressed People's Nation, Survivors/Victims of Tragedy, Revolution Books and the Imperial Women Activists Group. To the left of Coleman in the picture are Community Activist Terrie Tolefree (holding the red, Black and green flag) and NewNet5.Com Reporter Stephanie Ramirez (in white hat). At the event Coleman, on behalf of the Imperial Women Activists Group that she leads, called for Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Tim McGinty and Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine to be aggressive in pursuit of an indictment of criminal charges by the Cuyahoga County Grand Jury of the police officers. Coleman called McGinty and Dewine "discrepancy models in the case who should either do their jobs or step down." The case is currently before a county grand jury. Nearly 100 community activists, victims of police brutality and other community affiliates attended the gathering. Also at the rally attorneys for the victims called for justice with Cleveland Attorney Terry Gilbert, who represents the estate of Tim Russell, previously telling Cleveland Urban News.Com that the 13 non-Black police officers at issue "should at least be charged with negligent homicide." Local media covering the event include the Cleveland Plain Dealer Newspaper, the Northeast Ohio Media Group, and Cleveland television news channels 5, 3, 19, and 8
