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.
