New footage from the fatal shooting of 32-year-old
Philando Castile was released Wednesday, less
than 24-hours after dash-cam video from the
incident was made public. The video, which was
released by the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal
Apprehension under a public-records request,
sheds more light on the moments immediately
following the shooting.
The footage was among
thousands of pages of documents, reports,
interview transcripts, and emails released by
authorities concerning the trial of Jeronimo
Yanez, the former police officer who faced
20 years in prison for fatally shooting Castile
seven times during a traffic stop in a St. Paul
suburb in July 2016. Yanez was acquitted last
week of all charges.
The full video, which was posted by journalist Tony Webster, shows Diamond Reynolds, Castile’s girlfriend, with her 4-year-old daughter in the back of a police squad car in the moments following the fatal shooting. You can watch a portion of the video below (Note: It contains graphic content.)

In the video, which appears to have been recorded just moments after Castile was killed, Reynolds is seated handcuffed in the back of a squad car with her daughter when she shouts an expletive after her cell phone dies. This prompts her daughter to ask her not to scream “because I don’t want you to get shooted.” When Reynolds says she wishes she could take the handcuffs off, her daughter yells, “No please don’t, I don’t want you to get shooted … I wish this town was safer.”

The video is the latest of three to reveal the moments before, during, and after the fatal shooting. Reynolds recorded a live-stream video showing the immediate aftermath of the shooting to Facebook, and dash-cam video released Tuesday revealed what took place in the moments leading up to and when the shooting took place.
