MINNEAPOLIS — Mohamed Noor, the former Minneapolis police officer convicted for fatally shooting Justine Ruszczyk Damond in 2017 in the alley behind her home, is scheduled to be released from incarceration next week.
Noor, 36, received a new sentence in October of nearly five years in prison, and that set his day of release for Monday, instead of several years later under a previous sentence vacated by the state's high court.
Hennepin County District Judge Kathryn Quaintance imposed Noor's ultimate sentence of 4 ¾ years in prison for second-degree manslaughter after the Minnesota Supreme Court overturned a third-degree murder conviction against him for killing Damond, who had called 911 to report a possible sexual assault in the alley behind her southwest Minneapolis home.
