Philando Castile was shot dead tonight after being pulled over by a Minneapolis cop for a busted tail light.

As the country still reels from the death of Alton Sterling, protesters are demanding justice for Philando Castile, the 32-year-old black man who died in the hospital Wednesday night after he was shot by police in Falcon Heights, Minnesota, during a traffic stop.

The aftermath of Castile’s shooting was captured in a disturbing video and shared on Facebook by his girlfriend, Lavish Reynolds. The video was pulled from Facebook and then re-released with a graphic warning label, according to CNN. It’s been viewed more than 2 million times.

In the hours following the shooting, crowds gathered around the spot where Castile was shot, according to KMSP reporter Ted Haller. Onlookers reportedly chanted “murderer” as the car was pulled away.

Protesters marched from the scene of the shooting to the home of Minnesota Governor Mark Dayton, where they demanded the governor give a statement on Castile’s death, according to KMSP.
