Mohamed Noor Now In Out-Of-State Prison
ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP/WCCO) -- A former Minneapolis police officer sentenced to more than 12 years for fatally shooting a woman who called 911 to report a possible crime has been moved to a prison outside of Minnesota.
An official with the Department of Corrections tells WCCO-TV he was transferred on July 12 and the measure was taken for his safety. His current location is not being disclosed.
Noor shot 40-year-old Justine Ruszczyk Damond, a dual citizen of the U.S. and Australia, in the alley behind her home on July 15, 2017, after she called 911 to report what she thought was a woman being assaulted.
Noor was convicted of third-degree murder in April in the shooting of Damond, who was unarmed. A judge sentenced Noor in June to more than 12 years in prison.
