PITTSBURGH (KDKA) – After his acquittal of killing Antwon Rose, a fundraiser was set up for former East Pittsburgh police officer Michael Rosfeld.

The fundraiser for Rosfeld was set up by his wife two weeks ago.

The campaignfundedjustice.com has raised a little less than $15,000 as of 11 a.m. on Saturday.

Rosfeld's wife, Michelle, says that since he is unable to work, the family's resources are depleted and they need financial assistance with his defense, which is not over after a civil suit is expected to be filed by the Rose family.

Similar fundraisers were set up to help Antwon Rose's family following the shooting, but those have now been taken down.
