Pittsburgh Police Officer Charged With Homicide For Antwon Rose Killing

Pittsburgh police officer Micael Rosfeld has been charged with criminal homicide in last week’s shooting death of an unarmed black teenager that sparked waves of protests. Mike Manko, a spokesman for the Allegheny County District Attorney’s office, told Reuters that Officer Michael Rosfeld, faces a single criminal count of homicide for the June 19 murder of 17-year-old Antwon Rose. Rose’s death is the latest in a trend of police killing black men that has triggered street protests and fueled a national debate about racial bias in the U.S. criminal justice system.
