In the presence of his girlfriend and her little daughter! Less than 24 hours after Alton Sterling was shot to death by Baton Rogue cops, another black man, 32-year-old Philando Castile died Wednesday night after being shot several times by a police officer in Falcon Heights, Minnesota.
Shocking footage of the aftermath of the shooting went viral after Castile’s girlfriend Lavish Reynolds live-streamed his death on Facebook.
In the video, Lavish Reynolds said she and her boyfriend, Philando Castile, were pulled over for a busted tail light by a police officer. She claims the cop asked Castile, a cafeteria supervisor at a school in St Paul, to show his license, but then shot him four times while he reached for it.
As she talks, she moves the camera across to show Castile, bloody and losing consciousness, and the cop - still pointing his gun. Sounding like he was close to tears, the cop shouted, 'I told him not to reach for it!. I told him to get his hand open.'
