Minnesota officials on Thursday identified the state trooper who shot and killed a 33-year-old Black man during a traffic stop this week, as activists and family members called for the officers involved to be fired and charged.

Minnesota State Patrol Trooper Ryan Londregan shot Ricky Cobb II early Monday during a tense confrontation seen on body-worn camera footage released this week, according to the Minnesota Public Safety Department’s Bureau of Criminal Apprehension.

The three troopers have been placed on administrative leave. But Cobb's relatives and several activists groups gathered in Minneapolis this week to demand they be fired and prosecuted. Nyra Fields-Miller broke down at a news conference as she described the pain of losing her son in the latest deadly traffic stop to spark backlash.

“I’m very confused and very, very hurt,” she said Tuesday.

“I want justice for my son."
