Fourth Night of Protests Over Shooting of Unarmed Teen; Teenage Boy Missing From Detainee Facility in Texas
WHITFIELD: The viewing for Antwan Rose is set to begin next hour. Rose is the 17-year-old who was unarmed when he was shot and killed by East Pittsburgh Police last week. His death sparked several nights of protests in Pittsburgh including last night with roughly 250 demonstrators walked through the city's entertainment district. CNN's Ryan Nobles is in Homestead, Pennsylvania where the service is taking place. So Ryan, any more answers about this?</s>RYAN NOBLES, CNN CORRESPONDENT: No, there really isn't, Fred and that's why the community here is still very much on edge as they are looking for some answers to exactly what happened to Antwon Rose Jr. And they want some changes made as to how the investigation is going to take place. You can see behind me the funeral home where the calling hours are set to take place for Antwon Rose Jr. It's not supposed to take place for another 15 minutes or so, but there's already a long line outside of the building for mourners to come and pay their respects. We've seen protests here pretty consistently for the last four days but they're actually expected to suspend those protests for the next two days in honor of the Rose family. The calling hours taking place today, the funeral taking place tomorrow and the protesters have decided that they are not going to take to the streets to allow the family an opportunity to grieve in peace. But they are warning that they will kick things right back up after the funeral takes place unless they get a certain set of demands met including the district attorney Stephen Zappala being taken off this case and recusing himself and having the case handed over to the Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro. At this point, Zappala has told us that he has no interest in stepping away from the case so it's expected, Fred that those tensions will continue.</s>WHITFIELD: All right, Ryan Nobles, thank so much in Homestead, Pennsylvania. And we have breaking news about a teenaged boy who was been reported missing from a detainee facility. CNN's Polo Sandoval joining me now with more on this from McAllen.</s>SANDOVAL: Fred, you know, we have been asking questions about this situation that unfold about 50 miles east from where we are here at McAllen, Texas in the city of Brownsville. One of these privately- owned and operated shelters if you will, that converted Walmart that we've talked about. We can confirm now that a 15-year-old child who was at that facility has now been reported missing. I spoke to a spokesperson with the Brownsville Police Department who got called out there yesterday at 4:30 to this welfare concern. Authorities now confirming that they searched for a 15-year-old boy in the water ways around the areas, some of the surroundings there at that facility, but they were unable to find him. So what happened next, that child was then input into a database of missing children across the country. A spokesperson just told me if that child appears somewhere else in the country then they will know -- likely know who he is. Important to point out however, we do not know that child is. In what circumstances surround his stay or at least why he was in or around that facility. We do know that Southwest Key, the program who runs this operation has released a statement a little while ago just sharing a little bit more investigation. I'll read you that statement that just came into CNN. A spokesperson, Jeff Eller saying, quote, as a licensed child care center, if a child attempts to leave any of our facilities, we cannot restrain them, we are not a detention center, we talk to them and simply try to get them to stay. If they leave the facility, we call law enforcement. A 15-year-old boy left the Casa Padre child center in Brownsville yesterday. We called local law enforcement and continue to work with them. Fred, certainly it's something that we want to find out a little bit more about. Many of these children who have been there for of course some time now, it will certainly call into question some of the practices there of some of these children are being held there while their parents are prosecuted under zero tolerance. Then what kind of procedures are in place to make sure that something like this doesn't actually happen. We'll continue to dig for more information but again, we can now confirm a 15-year-old child walked off one of these locations that has been used to house some of those children that's recently been separated from their children.</s>WHITFIELD: All right, Polo Sandoval, thank you so much for that update. Appreciate it. And we'll be right back.
