Ex-Minneapolis police officer sentenced to 12.5 years for fatal shooting of unarmed 911 caller
A Minneapolis police officer convicted of murder has been sentenced to 12.5 years in prison for the 2017 fatal shooting of an unarmed woman who called 911 to report a possible rape.
On Friday Mohamed Noor, who shot the woman as she walked toward his cruiser in the alley behind her home, said he can’t apologize enough “for taking the life of a perfect person.”
Noor, 33, was convicted in April of third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter in the July 2017 death of Justine Ruszczyk Damond, a 40-year-old dual citizen of the U.S. and Australia who was set to be married a month after the shooting took place.
