The Coalition of Pittsburgh Black Election Officials is calling for justice in the shooting death of Antwon Rose, who was killed while he was running from a traffic stop in East Pittsburgh.
The group, which includes representatives from the state of Pennsylvania, Jake Wheatley, Jr. and Ed Gainey, Ricky Burgess and Daniel Lavelle, Pittsburgh city councilors, as well as city councilor DeWitt Walton, is asking the prosecutor's office to Allegheny County to lay charges against Michael Rosfeld.
Here is their complete statement:
The Pittsburgh Coalition of Black Elected Officials and other Black Legislative Elected Officials of the region announced: "Last week, we watched, with all of our constituents and much of America, a video of the Agent Michael Rosfeld of the East Pittsburgh Police. , a black boy of 17, unarmed, thrice in the back while he was fleeing a traffic stop. And right under our eyes, tragically, Mr. Rose's life was gone.
In the days that followed, we all struggled to know how to treat another death by the hands of those who swore to protect us and serve us. We suffer and our community suffers. The pain and trauma we all feel may not be leaving our souls anytime soon. But, the healing process can only begin when Antwon, his family and the community get justice.
The PBEOC believes that the District Attorney's Office should immediately lay charges against Constable Rosfeld. Agent Michael Rosfeld took the judicial system into his hands when he ended Antwon's life. A fair and impartial jury, representative of the community, now deserves the opportunity to evaluate the actions of Agent Rosfeld and render a verdict. "
