Newly released dashcam video footage shows the brief interaction that ended with police officer Jeronimo Yanez shooting and killing motorist Philando Castile in July 2016.
Minnesota Public Radio has posted the video of the stop that turned into tragedy in just eight seconds. A warning: the video includes graphic content and language some viewers may find disturbing.

The video captures Yanez telling Castile his brake lights are out. Then he asks Castile for his driver’s license and insurance.
Castile hands over the cards and says, “Sir, I do have to tell you I do have a firearm on me.” Yanez calmly responds, “Okay. Don’t reach for it then.” His voice rises suddenly and he yells, “Don’t pull it out. Don’t pull it out.”
Yanez fires seven shots into the vehicle. Five hit Castile.
Less than 30 seconds after Yanez fired the shots, the dashcam video shows a young girl — Reynolds’ daughter — slowly get out of the back seat of the car before being grabbed by another officer.
