The Minneapolis police officer who fatally shot an Australian woman in July was charged with murder Tuesday after he turned himself in when a warrant was issued for his arrest.
Officer Mohamed Noor turned himself in on Tuesday in connection to the 2017 death of Justine Ruszczyk Damond. his attorney confirmed.
The criminal complaint remained sealed by midday Tuesday, but according to the jail roster Noor was booked on a third-degree murder charge for perpetrating an eminently dangerous act while showing a “depraved mind.” The second-degree manslaughter charge alleges he acted with “culpable negligence creating unreasonable risk.”
Damond was shot July 15, minutes after calling 911 to report a possible sexual assault in the alley behind her home. The 40-year-old life coach’s death drew international attention, cost the police chief her job and forced major revisions to the department’s policy on body cameras.
Hennepin County Attorney Mike Freeman was scheduled to discuss charges Tuesday afternoon.
Noor, a 32-year-old Somali-American, has not talked publicly about the case and declined to be interviewed by state investigators.
In a statement Tuesday, Damond’s family praised the charges, calling them “one step toward justice.”
“No charges can bring our Justine back. However, justice demands accountability for those responsible for recklessly killing the fellow citizens they are sworn to protect, and today’s actions reflect that,” the statement said.

He’s an immigrant. Thirty days in the local jail, and he walks.
…..Lady in Red
Still employed and collecting a paycheck?
A step in the right direction. But I doubt if this whack job muzzie could get a ccw or buy a gun in most states so what’s he doing with a badge. I hope Damond’s parents are suing the shit out of the department.
How did this PC affirmative action hire work out?
Half a mil bond?
Methinks seen as a risk to flee.
They don’t have the death penalty, so send him up to one of the abandoned iron mines with a pistol with 1 round, a 2 liter bottle of water, and an axe.
Good luck, punk.
Will they be rioting in Minneapolis tonight? Hard to believe all the changes in the Twin Cities since I was a kid.
He’ll be acquitted. Then he’ll sue for malicious prosecution.
It is about time this anti-American, misogynistic mentally ill musloid is arrested. Justice will never truly be served because he is of the politically approved pigment and religion.
And while he is in prison, make sure he has NO access to KY jelly or other “personal lubricants”. It should be agony every time.
JULY?? 8 MOS AGO?? GEE, WHAT’S THE HURRY??
Think of the press. To the degree it even gets reported, how are they going to portray him? The spin angles are very limited. If he is among the best and brightest the Somali community has to offer but he’s clearly murderously unbalanced…the conclusion draws itself.
If he doesn’t do long hard time, we are no longer a nation of laws, or a nation. We’re a historically huge bloody split that’s bound to happen.
I guess his attorney couldn’t stack the grand jury with his fellow co-religionists. But the trial jury is another matter.
So this turned out kind of like the Hillary campaign: In the end, there were no fireworks involved.
And test that scrawny f–ker for khat.
Hey, it IS Minneapolis! He’ll be acquitted on religious grounds…
I’m surprised this skell is still walking. He fired a shot across his partner’s chest to kill the lady. If I were his partner… well I’ll let it go at that. I’m no longer a violent man. Just too phucking old. But that phugger deserves a terrible beating at Precinct level. If ya know what I mean?
CATAPULT! 😡
Catapults for the numbtards who let him on the force as well. >:-(
He’s a muslim; raised to follow shariah law which describes kaffur(non-muslims) as najis(on the same level as sh#t).
Mohammed was probably feeling pretty full of himself; a powerful muslim with a gun, ruling over the kaffur.
She was an infidel in public,uncovered; not only uncovered but in pyjamas; and when she bent down to speak to the police through the patrol-car window, Mohammed might even have spotted a bit of cleavage.
According to Mohammed’s upbringing, for these offenses against shariah she had to die; besides, he was also titillated, seeing a kaffir woman in pyjamas, and for that also, she had to die.
The greater criminals are the stupid and traitorous people who bring mohammedan idiots like this into our communities.
“According to Mohammed’s upbringing, for these offenses against shariah she had to die; besides, he was also titillated, seeing a kaffir woman in pyjamas, and for that also, she had to die.”
You’re right, she may have been inadvertently enticing him to sin, so that alone was reason enough to murder her (she was just a filthy kafir whore, after all).
And according to some, Allah may even reward Noor with her as his slave in the afterlife.
Depending on how inbred he is, he may view this whole situation as an eternal win/win beset by temporary and minor inconvenience for Allah’s sake. His reward will make it all worth it.
He MAY have not the SLIGHTEST shred of guilt or remorse over this.
Wait for the trial…watch to see how arrogant and proud he appears. Then we’ll know.
About bloody time.
Now remember boys and girls, we’re all supposed to celebrate diversity, multiculturalism, and affirmative action.
Get a rope.
Minneapolis is now known as Little Mogadishu and yes it has changed a lot since I was a kid also
Hoping that some depraved inmate with nothing to lose helps this islamic savage meet his muslim mentor, mohammed (Piss Be Upon Him) in the fires of hell.
Are you kidding, he’s a FUKKIN’ MUZZIE POS they won’t do shit to him except maybe offer him the police chief’s job.
Fifty cents, I’ll volunteer and donate.
