Prosecutors drop charges against Minnesota trooper in deadly shooting of motorist Ricky Cobb
Fox News
Nearly one year after the shooting death of Black motorist Ricky Cobb II the Hennepin County Attorney held a press conference to discuss why a criminal case was being dropped.
"Ricky Cobb II should still be alive today," Moriarty said in a statement. "There are so many points at which Mr. Londregan could have handled the situation differently, and if he had, Ricky Cobb might still be alive. But that is not the question before us as prosecutors; the only question is whether we can still prove beyond a reasonable doubt that a crime occurred given this new evidence. The answer to that question is no, and I would violate my ethical duties if I nonetheless continued with the case."
Troopers pulled the 33-year-old Cobb over on Interstate 94 in Minneapolis on July 31 because the lights were out on his car. They then found that the Spring Lake Park man was wanted for violating a protection order in neighboring Ramsey County. Trooper Ryan Londregan, 27, shot Cobb twice as Cobb tried to drive away after troopers ordered him to get out of his car.
