YPA links up in solidarity with Black Lives Matter New York in support of justice for Philando Castile. Mr. Castile was shot and killed by a police officer after being pulled over in Falcon Heights, Minnesota − an event capture on dashcam, which helped to exonerate the victim from any wrongdoing. Mr. Castile’s daughter and girlfriend, who live-streamed the aftermath of the shooting on Facebook, were in the car. The officer was acquitted on in June 2017 of all charges.
