HARRISBURG, Pa. - In opening statements in a racially-charged Pittsburgh trial on Tuesday, a jury is expected to hear prosecutors argue that a white police officer acted unlawfully in the 2018 fatal shooting of an unarmed black teen who was running away from him.
Rosfeld allegedly shot Rose three times as he ran from a traffic stop: in the face, the elbow, and a fatal shot to the back, authorities said. The car in which Rose was a passenger was suspected of involvement in a drive-by shooting just minutes earlier. City officials are concerned there could be more protests, especially if Rosfeld is acquitted, and plan to close off streets around the county courthouse during the trial.
Since June, Judge Alexander P. Bicket imposed a gag order on both the prosecution and defense, barring further comments to the media.
