The dashcam video reveals the sequence of events that transpired during this critical minute:</div><br />• Officer Yanez approached Castile's vehicle on the driver's side. Yanez later stated he was aware that Castile was buckled in his seatbelt and saw there was a young child in the back seat and a female passenger in the front seat. <br /><br />• Officer Yanez described Castile as initially having "his left arm over the steering wheel" with "both hands in view."<br /><br />• Officer Yanez positioned himself facing the driver's side window, leaned his head forward, exchanged greetings with Castile and informed him of his brake light problem. <br /><br />• Officer Yanez also smelled burnt marijuana but said he did not mention anything to Castile so as not to "scare Castile or have him react in a defensive manner." <br /><br /></div><div>• As this occurred, Officer Kauser walked toward the vehicle and positioned himself on the sidewalk on the passenger's side of Castile's car.<br /><br />• Officer Yanez asked Castile to produce his driver's license and proof of insurance. Castile first provided him with his insurance card.<br />Castile then, calmly, and in a non-threatening manner, informed Officer Yanez, "sir, I have to tell you that I do have a firearm on me."</div><div><br /></div><div>• Before Castile completed the sentence, Officer Yanez interrupted and calmly replied, "okay" and placed his right hand on the holster of his own, holstered, gun.<br /><br />• Officer Yanez then said, "okay, don't reach for it, then."<br /><br />• Castile tried to respond but was interrupted by Officer Yanez, who said, "don't pull it out." <br /><br />• Castile responded, "I'm not pulling it out," and Reynolds also responded by saying, "he's not pulling it out." <br /><br />• Then Officer Yanez screamed, "don't pull it out!," and quickly pulled his own gun with <br />his right hand while he reached inside the driver's side window with his left hand. <br /><br />• Officer Yanez pulled his left arm out of the car, then fired seven shots in rapid succession into the vehicle. <br /><br />• The seventh and final shot was fired at 9:06:02 pm<br /><br />• After the final shot, Reynolds frantically yelled, "you just killed my boyfriend!"<br /><br />• Philando Castile moaned and uttered his final words: "I wasn't reaching for it."<br /><br />•To which Reynolds loudly said, "he wasn't reaching for it."<br /><br />• Before Reynolds completed her sentence, Officer Yanez again screamed, "don't pull it <br />out!"<br /><br />• Reynolds responded by saying, "he wasn't."<br /><br />• During this entire incident, Officer Kauser did not touch or remove his gun from its holster.
