GRAPHIC footage has emerged from a woman who livestreamed the fallout of her boyfriend being shot by police on Facebook in the US.

In the Facebook video, a woman identified as Lavish Reynolds can be seen with her boyfriend, Philando Castile. The couple were pulled over by police for having a brake light that was out.

She alleged a police officer in Falcon Heights, Minneapolis, had asked Castile, 32, to show him his driver’s licence before he fired four shots while he was trying to get it from his wallet.

While still recording the moment as it unfolded, Reynolds moved her phone camera to show Castile after the shots were fired. He had blood on his shirt as the police officer was still pointing his gun at them.

Reynolds told viewers Castile was licenced to carry a firearm as he was looking for his licence.

“And the officer just shot him in his arm,” Reynolds told viewers.

The police officer can be heard saying: “Ma’am, keep your hands where they are,” and Reynolds agrees.

The police officer can be heard shouting “F***!”

“I told him not to reach for it!” he adds. “I told him to get his hand open.”

Reynolds replies saying: “You told him to get his ID, sir, you told him to get his driver’s licence.”

In shock from the situation, Reynolds is then heard saying: “Oh god, don’t tell me he’s dead. Please don’t tell me my boyfriend just went like that ... please don’t tell me that he’s gone.”

“Please don’t tell me this Lord, please Jesus don’t tell me that he’s gone.”

“Please officer don’t tell me that you just did this to him. You shot four bullets into him, sir,” she said.

She repeats: “He was just getting his licence and registration, sir.”

When police back up arrives, more police officers ask Reynolds to get out of the car and walk backwards.

When asked if they have a daughter, after a girl can be heard crying in the distance. It was her four-year-old daughter.

They tell her to get on her knees and she is handcuffed.

He phone appears to have been dropped on the ground, as viewers can only see the blue sky above.

“They threw my phone, Facebook,” Reynolds said.

While Reynolds’ Facebook livestream was taken down, the video was circulated across social media.

In a statement, St Anthony Police Department confirmed that a St. Anthony Police Officer asked the couple to make a traffic stop on Larpenteur and Fry in the City of Falcon Heights, Minnesota.

“During the stop, shots were fired. One adult male was taken to the hospital. We have been informed that this individual is deceased,” they said.

“No one else was injured and the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA) has been called in to investigate this officer involved shooting. A handgun was recovered from the scene.”

“The BCA will provide additional information as their investigation progresses.”

Castile’s mother, Valerie Castile, confirmed to CBS Minnesota that her son had died at Hennepin County Medical Center.
