who is the black man shot while in his car
Cops Shoots, Kills Black Man Reaching for His Wallet. Less than 24 hours after Alton Sterling was executed by Louisiana police, another black man is dead at the hands of a cowardly cop. Philando Castile, 32, was shot and killed Wednesday in Falcon Heights, Minnesota, near Minneapolis. Castile didnât fit the profile of black men who are randomly killed by police in America. He was educated, with no criminal record, and he held a permit to carry a concealed weapon. He was reaching for that permit when he was shot four times by the cop who pulled over the car he was riding in. Castile, a Montessori school cafeteria supervisor, was shot to death because of a broken tail light. The driver, Lavish Reynolds, live-streamed the bloody aftermath on Facebook.
