https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shooting_of_Philando_Castile

 On July 6, 2016, Philando Castile was fatally shot in Falcon Heights, Minnesota, a suburb of St. Paul. Castile was pulled over in a traffic stop by a St. Anthony Police Department officer, Jeronimo Yanez, who asked for Castile's driver's license and vehicle registration. According to Diamond Reynolds, Castile's girlfriend, who was with him in the vehicle, Castile told Yanez he had a firearm that he was licensed to carry. Yanez then shot Castile, who died shortly after arriving at the hospital. A video of the immediate aftermath was live-streamed by Reynolds on Facebook.
