VIDEO: Woman livestreamed police killing her boyfriend on Facebook
A black man was shot by a police officer on Thursday in Falcon Heights in Minnesota United States, while his girlfriend livestreamed it on Facebook.
The victim Philando Castile was shot to death by police, and his girlfriend, Lavish “Diamond” Reynolds, caught the aftermath of the shooting on video from the driver’s seat.
In the video, Reynolds explains that she was pulled over for a broken tail-light at the corner of Larpenteur Avenue and Fry Street, at which point she claims that “police shot him for no apparent reason, no reason at all.”
Reynolds says that her boyfriend told the officer upfront that he was carrying a gun, which Reynolds claims in the video he had a permit to carry, but Castile explained that he would be reaching slowly for his wallet and identification. The officer apparently told Castile not to move at that point.
“As he was putting his hands back up, the officer shot him in the arm four or five times,” Reynolds says.
