Jury reaches verdict in death of Philando Castile

(CNN)A Minnesota jury has reached a verdict in the manslaughter trial of Jeronimo Yanez, the officer who fatally shot Philando Castile during a traffic stop last year.

Yanez is on trial for one count of second-degree manslaughter and two counts of intentional discharge of firearm that endangers safety because Castile's girlfriend and her 4-year-old daughter were also in the car.
Castile's death garnered widespread attention after his girlfriend broadcast the shooting's aftermath on Facebook Live.
