For nearly two years, Minneapolis waited for answers about the fatal police shooting of Justine Ruszczyk, an unarmed woman who had called 911 seeking help. There was no video of the shooting. There was no audio. And the officer involved, Mohamed Noor, would not answer investigators’ questions.
Mr. Noor was acquitted of second-degree murder, which carries a stiffer penalty.
“This is a tragic shooting that did not have to happen and should not have happened,” said Mike Freeman, Hennepin County’s elected prosecutor, after the verdict was announced.
“I fired one shot,” Mr. Noor said in court, according to The Star Tribune newspaper. “The threat was gone. She could have had a weapon.”Ms. Ruszczyk had called 911 twice that night to report what she thought was a sexual assault in the alley behind her home. Peter Wold, a lawyer for Mr. Noor, acknowledged that Ms. Ruszczyk, who was about to get married and sometimes used her fiancé’s surname, had in fact posed no threat. She had been holding a glittery cellphone and standing outside a rolled-down window of the squad car when she was shot.
stoked outrage and reinvigorated debate about how officers use force — a familiar topic following protests over the deadly police shootings of Jamar Clark and Philando Castile. In Ms. Ruszczyk’s neighborhood, a safe, affluent area near the southwest corner of Minneapolis, the shooting has harmed relations with the police.
chief was forced out, and the mayor was voted out of office. The Police Department also revamped its body camera policy: Both Mr. Noor and his partner, Officer Matthew Harrity, had been wearing cameras that night, but neither officer had them turned on at the time of the shooting.
Mr. Freeman, the prosecutor, said there were errors by the Minneapolis police and a state law enforcement agency in the early stages of the investigation. John Ruszczyk, Justine’s father, said Tuesday that he felt the conviction came “despite the active resistance” of some in law enforcement.
Medaria Arradondo, who became the Minneapolis police chief after the shooting, offered “sincere apologies” to the Ruszcyzk family in a statement issued after the verdict. “As chief, I will ensure that the M.P.D. learns from this case and we will be in spaces to listen, learn and do all we can to help our communities in healing,” he said.
In some ways, the case was an outlier. While much of the national debate about police shootings had focused on young, African-American men being killed by white officers, Ms. Ruszczyk was a white woman, and Mr. Noor is Somali-American. During the trial, Mr. Noor’s lawyers detailed his journey from a farm in Somalia to a refugee camp in Kenya to a new home in Minneapolis.
Since the shooting, some activists and members of Minnesota’s large Somali community have questioned whether Mr. Noor was treated differently by prosecutors than a white officer would have been.
“Everybody’s very nervous and following this case very closely,” said Omar Jamal, a Somali-American activist and consultant, before the verdict. “They feel a sense of him being targeted.”
Ms. Ruszczyk, a meditation coach and a dual citizen of Australia and the United States, had made her own journey to Minneapolis. She moved to the city a couple of years before the shooting to live with her fiancé and had been building a small business. When she called 911 that night, her wedding was just weeks away.
After the verdict, Mayor Jacob Frey of Minneapolis released a statement that praised Ms. Ruszcyzk and said “we will stand with our Somali community.
“While today’s verdict may bring closure to some, it will also serve as a reminder of how far we must go to foster trust where it’s been broken,” Mr. Frey said. “We must acknowledge that historical and ongoing racialized trauma continues to impact our society.”
A version of this article appears in print on May 1, 2019, Section A, Page 15 of the New York edition with the headline: Former Officer Is Convicted in Fatal Shooting.
