OTIS (OATMEAL) WHITE, SR.
The days go by without you, and each one is the same. My mind is filled with thoughts of you. In tears I call you name. They say that time’s a healer and that life has to go on, but my life will never be the same, now the one I loved is gone.
Love, your wife, Leah.

Pittsburgh District Attorney Charges Cop Who Shot Teen 3 Times With Criminal Homicide
Antwon Rose, II was shot 3 times by police officer Michael Rosfeld. Rosfeld has been charged with criminal homicide.
PITTSBURGH, PA — Al- legheny County Prosecutors charged East Pittsburgh po- lice Officer Michael Ros- feld, 30, with criminal homicide Wednesday in the shooting death of 17-year-old Antwon Rose, II, court records show.
New details, indicate Antwon, who would have been a senior in high school, was shot in his face, right arm and the middle of his back.
It also states that Antwon was in a car sus- pected in an earlier shooting but did not appear to be the shooter, and that Rosfeld made inconsistent statements about whether he believed Antwon had a gun when the
officer opened fire. Rosfled was fired from the Pitt Uni- versity police force for lying on a report, and hired in May to the county police force.
Under Pennsylvania law, criminal homicide includes murder, voluntary manslaughter and involun- tary manslaughter.
Allegheny County District Attorney Steve Zappala said he believes Rosfeld acted "recklessly and without justification," and thus, the evidence supports charges of manslaughter and third-de- gree murder, and Zappala said his office has a "right to argue murder in the first," which the state code classifies as an "intentional killing."
