Update On A Police Shooting

In July, millions viewed Diamond Reynold’s live-stream video and remarkable real-time account of the immediate aftermath of a police officer shooting her boyfriend, Philando Castile. This article from reporter Eli Saslow of the Washington Post is a follow-up about Ms. Reynold’s current life, moving from one marginal apartment to the next and somehow keeping her life together, but now without the companion who among other things shared the rent and was able to watch her daughter while she worked nights at the dollar store. The feature article gets close in on a story that in its way says as much about race and economic inequality in America, circa 2016, as the shooting did.
