The police officer who fatally shot Philando Castile has been acquitted of all charges.
Jeronimo Yanez faced one charge of second-degree manslaughter and two counts of dangerous discharge of a firearm.
The jury struggled to come to a unanimous decision and was deadlocked for days.
In July 2016, Minnesota police officer Yanez pulled Castile over for a traffic stop. Castile, who had a concealed-carry permit, told Yanez he was legally carrying a weapon.
Castile's girlfriend — who was a passenger in the car — alleges Yanez fired his gun when Castile reached for his ID. Castile later died from his wounds.
