Aura Rosser was 40 when she was shot and killed by an Ann Arbor police officer during a late-night domestic call in November 2014. Responding officers David Ried and Mark Raab entered the home after Rosser’s boyfriend called 911, saying she was acting erratically and had a knife. Rosser was pronounced dead at the scene and Officer Ried was placed on administrative leave while the Michigan State Police investigated.

In early 2015, the Washtenaw County Prosecutor, Brian Mackie, announced no criminal charges would be filed, concluding the shooting was lawful self-defense. The decision sparked sustained protests and became a focus for local Black Lives Matter demonstrations and calls for police reform. Community activists sought an apology, funeral cost compensation, and Ried’s firing; those demands went unanswered. Does anyone have firsthand knowledge of the night or insight into the subsequent community response?
