MINNEAPOLIS — A White state trooper who shot and killed a Black man during a traffic stop in Minneapolis last summer is now back on the job.

Ryan Londregan had been charged with second-degree unintentional murder, first-degree assault and second-degree manslaughter for fatally shooting Ricky Cobb II on the morning of July 31, 2023, during a traffic stop for inactive taillights. He pleaded not guilty to those charges in May and they were dropped in June after the Hennepin County Attorney's Office determined it could no longer meet its burden of proof.

At the beginning of August, an investigation by the Minnesota State Patrol exonerated Londregan, helping clear the way for him to eventually return to work.
