MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Family, lawyers and activists for Ricky Cobb II say justice is within reach now that the Minnesota trooper who fatally shot him last year has been charged with murder. The 33-year-old Black man was shot July 31, 2023, after failing to get out of his car during a traffic stop and taking his foot off the brake when officers tried to arrest him on a Minneapolis highway. A lawyer for Cobb’s family says Trooper Ryan Londregan broke the law by shooting Cobb. Some people say Londregan did not break the law and is being unjustly charged.
