EAST PITTSBURGH, Pa. (AP) — The Latest on 17-year-old boy fatally shot by Pennsylvania police while fleeing a traffic stop (all times local):
3:35 p.m.
A Pennsylvania medical examiner has identified a 17-year-old boy fatally shot by a police officer as he fled a traffic stop related to a separate shooting.
The Allegheny County medical examiner's office says Antwon Rose died at the hospital. The brief report released Wednesday did not list a cause of death or say how many times or where the teenager was shot.
In a video captured by a bystander near the East Pittsburgh traffic stop late Tuesday, the teen and another passenger can be seen getting out of the car and running before three gunshots are heard.
Investigators have said Rose was shot three times. They also said no one fired a weapon at the officer during the stop and the teen did not have a weapon on him.

12:44 p.m.
A police officer fatally shot a 17-year-old boy just seconds after he fled from a traffic stop in a confrontation partly captured on video from a nearby home.
Police say the car stopped late Tuesday in the town of East Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, matched the description of a vehicle being sought in a nonfatal shooting in a nearby town.
The teen was not immediately identified.
The video captured the sound of what appeared to be three gunshots as two people bolted from the car past the side of a home and disappeared from view.
A witness tells The Associated Press that the teen did not appear to threaten the officer, but that he and another passenger ran from the car while the driver was being taken into custody.
Police say the second passenger is still being sought.
