Before Minneapolis police officer Mohamed Noor shot Justine Ruszczyk through the open driver's side window of his squad, a woman had approached the back of the patrol car and "slapped" it, according to a court document filed Monday.
Authorities say Ruszczyk, who also used the surname Damond, called 911 to report a possible sexual assault in the alley behind her south Minneapolis home. She called again 10 minutes later to check on the status of the responding officer's arrival. Soon after, she was shot.
A search warrant was filed by Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension investigators to look at the area where the shooting happened and gather evidence as part of the investigation.
"Upon police arrival, a female 'slaps' the back of the patrol squad," according to the search warrant. "After that, it is unknown to BCA agents what exactly happened, but the female became deceased in the alley."
But the document doesn't explicitly say it was Ruszczyk who slapped the back of the police cruiser. It also doesn't say whether that was the loud noise that Noor's partner, Matthew Harrity, said he heard and was startled by before the shooting.
A BCA spokesperson declined to provide additional details, citing the ongoing investigation.
Noor has declined to speak with investigators. He remains on paid administrative leave.
The shooting has stirred controversy all around the country and internationally as news spread to Ruszczyk's home country of Australia.
Former Minneapolis Police Chief Janeé Harteau, before she resigned Friday, condemned Noor's actions and said "Justine didn't have to die." On Saturday, Minneapolis Mayor Betsy Hodges appointed Assistant Police Chief Medaria Arradondo as acting chief.

She he shot and killed her.
Is that it?
Well then, she must die!
She could have tripped and simply put her hand out to catch herself on the back of the car.
“but the female became deceased in the alley”
A very creative turn of phrase. All of a sudden she ‘became deceased’.
I’m wondering if she was trying to get their attention as they drove past her?
She must have some really long arms to be able to slap the trunk and be by the driver’s door at the same time.
Yep, we all know what happens after you become deceased in the alley.
Nothing to see here folks, move along.
Now ,again tell me how many days did it take to make this story up ?
That's classic deflection technique - like 'admitting' that 'mistakes were made.'
The line that jumps out at me is, “Noor has declined to speak with investigators.” Oh, ok then. Sorry to bother you, Noor. Carry on.
Curiouser and curiouser.
Not quite...
It reads as if she slapped the back of the police car, which startled Noor’s partner, then after that, when she approached the window she was shot.
Not sure that’s right, but that’s the way it read.
Well then! That explains that!
We need to tell people how to act around police (no sarcasm). They will shoot, and will often get off with minimal consequences.
Looks like Mo and his buddies are doing everything they can to paint this woman as the aggressor who deserved to be shot. So how hard could this woman slap a car? And since Mo had his gun already in his lap, it was easy to put it under his partner’s nose and pull the trigger.
She was standing and talking to his partner on the driver’s side of the vehicle. She was shot in the stomach by Noor through the open window where she was talking to his partner. How does her allegedly slapping the back of the squad car as she approached it, have anything to do with his shooting her as she’s standing next to the vehicle? If he was so startled by her slap, why didn’t he open fire before she even arrived at the side of the car?
Completely justified. She was obviously armed, since she slapped the car with her hand, and her hands are attached with arms.
That was my thought, she slapped the car and yelled at them, hence the loud noise that caused Noor to blow her away. Note to self: Never make a loud noise around the MPD.
I think this will be just enough to play “Blame the victim”.
That and the fact that Mo has tens of thousands of Somali supporters (Thanks Bill! Thanks George!) this will lead to the usual conclusion.
A No Bill by a Grand Jury.
