Listen: Justine Damond's 911 calls prior to fatal shooting
MINNEAPOLIS (FOX 9) - A Hennepin County judge released most of the evidence in the trial of former Minneapolis police officer Mohamed Noor Thursday, including the audio recordings of the two phone calls Justine Ruszczyk Damond made to 911.
In the audio recordings, Damond sounded worried as she reported hearing a woman possibly being sexually assaulted in the alley behind her house.
Noor was found guilty of murdering Damond on July 15, 2017. He shot and killed her when she approached him and his partner in their squad car in the alley behind her home on the 5000 block of Washburn Avenue South.
