Diamond Reynolds agrees to $800,000 settlement stemming from Philando Castile’s death

Diamond Reynolds, who broadcast to the world what happened after a Minnesota police officer fatally shot her boyfriend, Philando Castile, has agreed to a settlement worth $800,000, authorities announced this week.
