Mohamed Noor, former Minneapolis officer who killed woman who called 911 for help, to be released
Mohammed Noor, the former Minneapolis police officer who fatally shot a woman who called 911, is set to be released.

Mohammed Noor, the former Minneapolis police officer who fatally shot a woman who called 911 to report a possible sexual assault in the alley behind her home is set to be released from prison next week. His release comes months after his 2019 murder conviction was overturned and he was resentenced on a lesser charge.
Mohammed Noor to be released
Noor, 36, is scheduled to be released from custody Monday, according to online Department of Corrections records.
Noor was initially convicted of third-degree murder and manslaughter in the 2017 fatal shooting of 40-year-old Justine Ruszczyk Damond, a dual U.S.-Australian citizen and yoga teacher who was set to be married.
Then the Minnesota Supreme Court threw out his murder conviction and 12 1/2-year sentence, saying the murder charge didn’t apply to the circumstances of this case.
In October 2021, Noor was resentenced to four years and nine months on the manslaughter charge.
During trial, Noor said he feared for his partner’s life when Ruszczyk Damond approached their squad car. His partner testified during Noor’s trial that they were “startled” as she walked up from the rear of the vehicle.
In Minnesota, defendants with good behavior typically serve two-thirds of their sentence in prison, and the rest on supervised release.
The DOC’s website says Noor will be on supervised release until Jan. 24, 2024.
