On July 15, 2017, Justine Damond (née Ruszczyk),^[3] a 40-year-old Australian-American woman,^[4] was fatally shot by 31-year-old Somali-American Minneapolis Police Department officer Mohamed Noor after she had called 9-1-1 to report the possible assault of a woman in an alley behind her house. Occurring weeks after a high-profile manslaughter trial acquittal in the 2016 police killing of Philando Castile, also in the Minneapolis–Saint Paul metropolitan area, the shooting exacerbated existing tensions and attracted national and international press.^[5]

In April 2019, Noor was tried before a jury on charges of second-degree murder, third-degree murder, and second-degree manslaughter. Noor claimed self defense. The jury convicted Noor of third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter, but he was acquitted on the charge of intentional second degree murder.^[6] In June 2019, Noor was sentenced to 12.5 years in prison.^[7] Noor's conviction on third-degree murder was overturned by the Minnesota Supreme Court on September 15, 2021.^[8] In October 2021, his sentence was revised to 4.75 years in prison, with credit for time served.^[2] Noor was released from custody on June 27, 2022, and was ordered to remain on supervised release until January 24, 2024.^[9]

Damond's family brought a civil lawsuit against the City of Minneapolis alleging violation of Damond's civil rights, which the city settled for US$20 million in 2019.^[10]^[7]
