Family of Justine Damond, shot dead by Minneapolis cop, sues

Minneapolis City Attorney Susan Segal issued the following statement on the city's behalf in response to the suit.“The loss of a life, the loss of Justine Ruszczyk, is a tragedy. We are reviewing the civil lawsuit and will be responding to it. Meanwhile, serious criminal charges are currently pending against Mohamed Noor, and it's critically important that the criminal case be allowed to proceed through trial without interference," the statement read.
Noor faces third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter criminal charges in connection to her death. Minneapolis fired Noor after charges were filed in March.
Prosecutors say Noor was in a squad car’s passenger seat when he shot Damond through the driver’s side window after she approached the vehicle in an alley near her southwest Minneapolis home. Hennepin County Attorney Mike Freeman said there’s no evidence Noor encountered a threat justifying the use of deadly force.
