The cops did NOT have their body cams on!
Neither of the responding officers had turned on their body cameras, and police have not yet said why one of the officers shot her. The squad car camera did not capture the incident, either.
The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA), the state agency investigating the shooting, has said only that “at one point,” one of the officers fired a weapon and struck Damond. No weapons were found at the scene.
.....
Three people “with knowledge of the incident” told the Minneapolis Star Tribune that the responding officers pulled into the alley behind Damond’s home. The woman, wearing pajamas, approached the driver’s side door and was talking to the driver, the newspaper reported. The officer in the passenger seat then shot Damond through the driver’s side door, the three people told the newspaper.

Questions swirl after Minneapolis officer fatally shoots woman who called 911
Justine Damond, a yoga and meditation teacher, called police late Saturday to report what she thought was a sexual assault near her home. Two officers arrived to investigate, and the encounter turned deadly. The case renews scrutiny of officers in the Twin Cities, the site of two previous controversial shootings that set off waves of protests.
