Minnesota prosecutors filed charges Wednesday against the police officer who fatally shot driver Philando Castile — the aftermath of which was livestreamed on Facebook in a video that went viral.

St. Anthony police officer Jeronimo Yanez was charged with second-degree manslaughter and two felony counts of dangerous discharge of a firearm in the July 6 traffic stop in Falcon Heights, MN, a Twin Cities suburb, reports the Associated Press .

"It is my conclusion that the use of deadly force was not justified," Ramsey County Attorney John Choi said at a news conference.
