The shooting of Justine Ruszczyk and trial of former officer Mohamed Noor

On the evening of July 15, 2017, Justine Ruszczyk, also known as Justine Damond, called 911. About 22 minutes later she was dead, shot by then-Minneapolis police officer Mohamed Noor.

After a nearly three-week trial, jurors found Noor guilty of third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter in Ruszczyk's death.
