Charges brought against state trooper in killing of Ricky Cobb II - Minnesota Reformer

Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty has brought charges against State Patrol Officer Ryan Londregan in the killing of Ricky Cobb II, who was shot and killed by Londregan during a traffic stop on I-94 in north Minneapolis last summer.

Cobb was stopped for driving without rear lights. Body camera videos of the killing show Cobb repeatedly asking a state trooper why he needed to get out of his car. When the troopers tried to remove him from the car, Cobb moved his arm in the direction of the gear shift, and Londregan — the trooper on the passenger side — shot him in the abdomen.

Cobb, badly wounded, drove off. He later died.
