Antwon Rose Killing: See Patch's Comprehensive Coverage

PITTSBURGH, PA - It’s a story that has resonated nationally: a 17-year-old unarmed high school student shot to death by a police officer while fleeing from a traffic stop.

The shooting death of Antwon Rose Tuesday by East Pittsburgh police officer Michael Rosfeld has set off reverberations throughout southwestern Pennsylvania that likely will continue for the foreseeable future. The incident was captured on video and posted on Facebook, but numerous questions remain. Was the car in which Rose was a passenger involved in an early drive-by shooting as police suspect? The driver of the car was a jitney, but who was the individual who was fleeing with Rose and escaped amid the gunfire? Who owned the guns found in the vehicle?

Patch was the only media outlet to provide continuous coverage of Thursday’s protest in Downtown Pittsburgh and the first to spotlight the civil rights attorney now working with Rose’s family. Patch will continue to provide coverage of this nationally relevant story.
