Another Unarmed Black-Man Fatally Shot By A White Cop In Minnesota, Girlfriend Live Streams It on Facebook [Photos/Video]

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.'

Visibly shaken Lavish then said, 'You told him to get his ID, sir, you told him to get his driver's license,' When she noticed he had stopped moving, she reacted saying 'Oh god, don't tell me he's dead. 'Please don't tell me my boyfriend just went like that... please don't tell me that he's gone.'

Detained: Other officers arrive and tell Reynolds to exit the car and get on her knees. They cuff her and say she is being detained 'until we get this all sorted out' - only at this point does she begin to cry

The cop requested that she should keep her hands where they are and she agreed. Backup officers then arrived, handcuffed and put her alongside her little daughter in a police car. According to them, they had to detain her until they sorted everything out. In the police car she began to request for people to come and bail her as her phone battery was about to die. Finally, Reynolds - who has mostly kept it together throughout the incident - breaks down while her daughter consoles her, saying 'It's okay. I'm right here with you.'

Castile was taken to Hennepin County Medical Center where he was confirmed dead and the officer responsible for his death has been placed on administrative leave.

Reynolds says to her Facebook viewers that Castile was licensed to carry a weapon and told the officer he had a firearm as he reached for his wallet and ID. 

'And the officer just shot him in his arm,' she says.

'Ma'am, keep your hands where they are,' the cop says, sounding panicked. He then appears to shout 'F***!' 

'He just shot his arm off,' says Reynolds, maintaining her calm.

'I told him not to reach for it!' the cop screams, sounding close to tears. 'I told him to get his hand open.'

Dropped: The phone is dropped shortly after this point, but the officer who allegedly shot Castile can seemingly be heard shouting 'F***' several times, while Reynolds, after giving her story, begins to pray to God
