After the fact, that former officer Jeronimo Yanez was acquitted June 16 of second-degree manslaughter and two counts of intentional discharge of a firearm that endangers safety. Castile was killed July 6, 2016 during a traffic stop, and his girlfriend streamed the shooting’s aftermath on Facebook Live.
