MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The father of Philando Castile, a motorist fatally shot by a suburban Minneapolis police officer last summer, wants a portion of the $3 million settlement reached in his son's death.
Phelix Frazier Sr. is serving a life term in federal prison on drug trafficking charges. The Star Tribune reported that Frazier has asked a judge to give him $500,000, disputing claims that he was absent from his son's life.

Castile's mother, Valerie Castile, has petitioned the court for $2 million, with the remaining amount going to attorneys. A Hennepin County judge was expected to review the petition during a Wednesday hearing and will approve how the funds are distributed.
Castile, a 32-year-old elementary school cafeteria worker, was shot in July 2016 during a traffic stop seconds after he informed St. Anthony police Officer Jeronimo Yanez that he was carrying a gun. Authorities later discovered Castile had a permit for the firearm. The case got widespread attention after Castile's girlfriend, who was in the car with her then-4-year-old daughter, began livestreaming the shooting's aftermath on Facebook. https://www.yahoo.com/news/father-philando-castile-wants-portion-settlement-152049046.html https://www.yahoo.com/news/father-philando-castile-wants-portion-settlement-152049046.html
