The family of Philando Castile, a Minnesota man recently shot to death by police during a traffic stop, are planning to file a lawsuit over his death. On Monday, The Hatchett Law Firm agreed to represent Castile's family in the lawsuit. A 28-year-old police officer shot the 32-year-old Castile to death last Wednesday in the St. Paul suburb of Falcon Heights. Castile's girlfriend live-streamed the aftermath of the deadly incident on Facebook from the backseat of the car. The Hatchett Law Firm has "promised an aggressive investigation beyond the current one by the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension."
