A white Pennsylvania police officer who shot and killed an unarmed black teenager last year goes on trial starting Tuesday in a case that could put him behind bars for life. The drive-by shooting in North Braddock led Rosfeld, of Verona, to pull over the unlicensed cab a short time later. Investigators have said Rosfeld subsequently told the detectives he did not see a gun when the passenger ran. Rosfeld had been on the East Pittsburgh Police for just a few weeks after working for other departments over seven years. After the shooting, East Pittsburgh shut down its police force and began to rely on state police to cover the territory.
