Diamond Reynolds, the girlfriend of Philando Castile, was arrested and charged in relation to a hammer attack on a woman in St. Paul.

The video opens with a gruesome scene--Reynolds can be seen first saying, "Stay with me," to Castile, while she explains the couple was pulled over for a busted tail light.

Castile's family and friends say that he was an upstanding man and was soft-spoken. His mother, Valerie Castile, told CNN that her son was a "laid-back," "good person."

Minnesota Governor Mark Dayton has extended his condolences to the family and community of Philando Castile, as he joined them in protest outside his home.  Dayton noted that he has requested that the U.S. Department of Justice launch an independent federal investigation into Castile’s death.

Governor Mark Dayton questions whether Philando Castile would still be alive if he was White and calls for swift justice.

Prince was found in an elevator on his Minnesota estate on April 21.
