In a news conference the following day, Allegheny County Police Superintendent Coleman McDonough confirmed that Rose was unarmed when he “bolted” from the scene. A Pittsburgh-area police officer shot 17-year-old Antwon Rose Jr. three times last week as he fled the scene of a traffic stop, authorities said. Police have not released much information about the shooting, but the video shows officers stopping a car on a residential street. Police said they were still searching the area for the person who fled from the vehicle and a state police helicopter was providing support. EAST PITTSBURGH, Pa. -- A police officer fatally shot an unarmed 17-year-old boy just seconds after he fled from a traffic stop in a confrontation partly captured on video from a nearby home. Witnesses who reported the incident provided a description of a car that was seen fleeing the scene of the shooting: a silver Chevrolet Cruze that also had “ballistics damage to the rear window.” About 13 minutes later, an East Pittsburgh officer flagged a vehicle that matched the description of the car and stopped it. According to the Allegheny County Police Department, the vehicle the teen got out of matched the description of a vehicle seen near a shooting that occurred in North Braddock around 8:20 p.m.
