To: Allegheny District Attorney Stephen Zappala

Charge Officer Michael Rosfeld for the murder of Antwon Rose!

Immediately bring charges against Allegheny Police Officer Micahel Rosfeld for the fatal shooting of unarmed 17-year-old Antwon Rose II.

Why is this important?

On Tuesday, June 19, Antwon Rose's life was stolen by East Pittsburgh Police Officer Michael Rosfeld. Antwon was riding in the passenger seat of a friend's car when they were profiled and stopped by police. Antwon attempted to run away and got no more than three feet before being shot three times. In less than 30 seconds, this teenager's promising future was gone. 

Now, the Alleghany Police Department is trying to justify the killing of Antwon by sharing irrelevant details that simply have no bearing on the reality that a trigger-happy officer took the life of a young boy. Here are the facts that matter :

* Rosfeld was sworn into the Allegheny Police Department hours before the fatal shooting
* East Pittsburgh officers profiled, chased, and stopped a group of Black boys in a car
* Rosfeld shot and killed Antwon Rose Jr.

District Attorney Zappala has remained silent as the police conduct their investigation. We cannot trust the police to police themselves. Zappala must stand up for what is right by holding all the officers involved in Antwon's death accountable.

It is time for DA Zappala to end this nightmare for Antwon's family and community now!
