In the moments after a routine traffic stop that ended in the shooting of her boyfriend, Lavish Reynolds took to Facebook Live to tell their story. According to Reynolds, recording beside her dying boyfriend in a car with her 4-year-old daughter in the backseat, an officer demanded to see his license and registration. Her boyfriend, 32-year-old Philando Castile, a cafeteria supervisor at J.J. Hill Montessori School in St. Paul, informed the patrolman that he was carrying a licensed firearm and that he was reaching for his identification.
Moments later, according to Reynolds, the officer unleashed four to five shots, striking her boyfriend in the arm.
Stay with me, she says to Castile. Stay with me
We got pulled over for a busted taillight in the back.
The officer can be heard saying, I told him not to reach for it. I told him to get his hand out.
