Outcry Over State Patrol Killing of Ricky Cobb II

Around 2 a.m. on July 31, Minnesota State Patrol trooper Ryan Londregan fatally shot Ricky Cobb II, 33, during a traffic stop on Interstate 94 West near 42nd Ave. North. Cobb II is Black and Londregan is white. It’s yet another deadly incident in a long pattern of Minnesota authorities’ violent acts against non-threatening Black males during traffic stops.

Instant outcry swept across social media and vigils, press conferences, rallies and protests have been held every day since the killing, starting with a vigil on Monday night at North Mississippi Regional Park near the Mississippi River off 49th Ave. North. On Tuesday, Aug. 1 at noon in front of the Minnesota Governor’s Residence in Saint Paul, numerous activists and organizers called for accountability for the officers involved.

Later that night near 41st Ave. N. and Lyndale Ave. N. in Minneapolis, dozens of activists and family members of Cobb II gathered to demand justice for Cobb II and marched to the memorial site of another police killing, Leneal Frazier, 40, who was killed by Minneapolis Police in 2021 when an MPD officer crashed into his car. Frazier was the uncle of Darnella Frazier, who recorded MPD killing George Floyd.
