Family, residents and the city's mayor want answers to why a woman was fatally shot over the weekend, by a police officer who's body camera was off. Justine Damond, a south Minneapolis woman who taught meditation classes and spiritual healing at the Lake Harriet Spiritual Community.
It is said that a Minneapolis police officer fired his or her weapon, killing a woman. "It doesn't seem like she'd be the kind of person to get shot in an alley," Corey Birkholz said.
His feelings were shared by more than 200 people who gathered for a vigil Sunday night near the spot where Damond died hours earlier.
"A woman who you met her-- was just peaceful," a neighbor at the vigil said.
Investigators with the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA) said that around 11:30p.m. Saturday, a 911 call was made about a possible assault in the area.
A man claiming to be Damond's son said in a Facebook video that she's the one who called 911 after hearing a noise in the alley near their home.
