Demonstrators could be seen marching through the streets of Pittsburgh; protesters the night before shut down a major roadway to condemn the killing, local media reported.
Antwon Rose, 17, was shot and killed on Tuesday (June 19) by an East Pittsburgh police officer as he ran from a vehicle after it was stopped by police who were searching for suspect in an earlier drive-by shooting incident.
The death of Rose was the latest in a string of killings of black men by police that have triggered street protests and fueled a renewed national debate about bias in the U.S. criminal justice system.
Video footage captured on a cell phone that has circulated widely on social media showed two men running away from a car that was stopped in front of two police squads. Both men appear to fall to the ground as gunfire is heard on the video.
