Rose was shot three times by East Pittsburgh Police Officer Michael Rosfeld while running from a vehicle pulled over for a felony stop in East Pittsburgh on June 19. Rose later died at the hospital.
The vehicle was stopped because it matched the description of a vehicle that had been involved in a drive-by shooting in North Braddock about 13 minutes prior to the felony stop.
Rosfeld has been placed on paid administrative leave pending the results of the investigation.
