Falcon Heights Shooting Facebook Live Police Brutality Death of Philando Castile

On July 6 2016 Lavish Reynolds posted a Facebook Live Video of the aftermath of a shooting involving a police officer and her boyfriend. The video starts with her boyfriend slumped next to her, drenched in blood. In the Facebook Live Video, she says they were pulled over at Larpenteur Avenue and Fry Street for a broken taillight.

According to Reynolds, "The officer asked him for license and registration.

He told him that it was in his wallet, but he had a pistol on him because he’s licensed to carry.

The officer said don’t move.

As he was putting his hands back up, the officer shot him in the arm four or five times.”

The shooting occurred while a 4-year-old sitting in the backseat.

WCCO confirmed that the victim, 32-year-old Philando Castile, died at Hennepin County Medical Center that same evening.
