With assistance from the Justice Department, County Attorney John Choi and state and local law enforcement have conducted a thorough and fair investigation. “Today’s announcement of charges against the officer involved is a step in the process of accountability for Mr. Castile’s death. The forthcoming criminal trial will offer transparency to the public, while allowing a judge and jury to make the ultimate determination in this case. “As this case proceeds through the criminal justice system, we must continue to work together to build a stronger, more trusting relationship between our police and the communities they serve and protect. At this difficult time, we should also keep Philando Castile’s loved ones in our thoughts and prayers.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
