St. Paul, MN – The police officer who reportedly shot and killed Philando Castile this summer has been charged with second-degree manslaughter today (November 16), the Associated Press reports. Castile was killed in July in Falcon Heights, Minnesota in an incident that his girlfriend broadcast on Facebook Live. Her daughter was in the backseat of the car when the shooting occurred.

Jeronimo Yanez was the officer identified as the one who fired the deadly shot after pulling over Castile, a black man, for a traffic stop and if convicted, the policeman faces up to 10 years in prison. Yanez’ attorney is saying that his client stopped the 32-year-old man because he seemingly matched the description of a wanted robbery suspect. He claims that Yanez, who is Latino, fired his gun out of fear because Castile claimed he had a legal gun with him in the car.

Castile’s family believes he was racially profiled and another victim of police brutality. His death came less than 48 hours after another black man, Alton Sterling, was shot and killed by police officers in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

Other high-profile cases have had mixed response from the legal system as nobody was charged in the death of Freddie Gray, who died in Baltimore after being arrested and suffering a spinal cord injury while being transported in a police van. Darren Wilson, the policeman who shot and killed Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, was not indicted for his actions.

The officer who shot and killed Walter Scott in South Carolina is on trial for murder.
