Justine Damond's family sues officer, partner, city in death of Australian woman killed by Minneapol

The family of Justine Damond, the 40-year-old Australian woman who was killed by a Minneapolis officer after she called 911 to report a possible assault, has sued the officer, his partner and the city.

In the lawsuit filed Monday in U.S. District Court, Damond's family alleges her civil rights were violated when she was shot July 15, 2017 by Officer Mohamed Noor, who they said was inexperienced and unfit for duty.

Damond’s family also accused the police department’s leadership at the time and Noor’s partner, Officer Matthew Harrity, of “conspiracy to cover up the true facts surrounding the killing of Justine,” the Star Tribune reported.

The others named in the lawsuit include Janee Harteau, police chief at the time of the shooting; Police Chief Medaria Arrandondo, assistant chief when Damond was shot; and the city of Minneapolis.

The family is seeking an undisclosed amount of money in damages.

Damond was fatally shot just minutes after calling 911 to report a possible sexual assault in the alley behind her home. Her death drew international attention, cost the police chief her job and forced major revisions to the department’s policy on cameras.
