Jury selection began Monday in the murder trial of a former Minnesota police officer who fatally shot an unarmed Australian woman in 2017, provoking outrage in the United States and in the victim’s home country.
Police say Mohamed Noor shot Justine Damond in Minneapolis in July 2017 while in the passenger seat of his police car.
She had approached the cruiser after calling police to report a possible rape in the dark alley behind her home.
Damond was shot once in the abdomen and died at the scene.
