Justine Ruszczyk, 40, called 911 for help, but when the police arrived, she was shot and killed.

Ruszczyk, who was already using the surname of her fiancé Don Damond, whom she would marry next month, heard screams near her Minnesota home. Immediately afterwards, he called the emergency service to ask for help and when the Minneapolis Police officers arrived, he left his house and approached the patrol, says the note published by the BBC.

However, when he was talking to the officer who was driving the vehicle, the officer next to him shot him in the abdomen in circumstances that have not yet been clarified by the authorities, the article states.

In turn, a note published by NBC News states that the cameras on both the officers' and patrol uniforms were turned off at the time. So there is no video of the events.

The BBC brief states that Damond, the deceased's boyfriend, explained that his partner had called 911 because he heard screams that seemed to come from a possible victim of sexual assault.

On the other hand, his stepson Zac Damon had beautiful words for who would be his father's wife. "My mother is dead because a police officer shot her for reasons I don't know and I demand answers," she said in a moving video she posted on her Facebook account, where her best friend called her.

The officer who allegedly shot him was identified as Mohammed Noor, sources said at Minneapolis / St Paul's Kare 11 station, in the region known as Twin Cities in Minnesota. The Police department had not yet confirmed such information. Yes it was learned that both officers are on administrative leave, they are not working at the moment, while conducting an investigation, NBC News reported.

Ruszczyk was a yoga teacher from Australia, offering meditation workshops at the Lake Harriet Spiritual Community Center. The woman, who had been raised in the United States as a child, was well-liked in her community, added NBC News.

The case has shocked the community, which is outraged at the event and demands answers.
