An ex-Minneapolis police officer who fatally shot an unarmed woman after she reported a possible rape will be sentenced on a lesser charge. Last month, a court tossed Mohamed Noor’s conviction, saying the third-degree murder statute didn’t fit the case.
Noor remains convicted of second-degree manslaughter, which carries a sentence ranging from 41 to 57 months, with a presumptive sentence of four years under the state’s sentencing guidelines.term, saying the low end of the range would reflect Noor’s good behavior behind bars and the harsh conditions he’s faced during several months in segregation from the general prison population. Legal experts expect prosecutors to seek a sentence at the top end of the range.
Noor has the right to make a statement at Thursday’s hearing, though it was not immediately clear if he would. At his June 7, 2019, sentencing,“I caused this tragedy, and it is my burden,” he said at the time, adding: “I can’t apologize enough and I will never be able to make up the loss that I caused to Miss Ruszczyk’s family.”
Noor, who is Somali American, was believed to be the first Minnesota officer convicted of murder for an on-duty shooting.
