Minnesota Trooper Ryan Londregan Charged With Second-Degree Murder in Fatal Shooting of Ricky Cobb II During Traffic Stop

Minnesota State Patrol trooper Ryan Londregan has been charged with second-degree unintentional murder, first-degree assault, and second-degree manslaughter in the shooting death of Ricky Cobb II during a routine traffic stop in North Minneapolis last July. Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty stated that deadly force was not justified in this case. The trooper's attorney disputes the charges, claiming that the county attorney is "out of control." If convicted, Londregan faces up to 15 years in prison for the second-degree unintentional murder charge.
