MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - The father of an Australian woman who was fatally shot by a Minneapolis police officer says no one has apologized for the death of his only daughter.

Speaking to KSTP-TV in Sydney, Australia, John Ruszczyk is critical of the two officers who responded to his daughter’s call about a possible sexual assault near her home last year for failing to have their body cameras on. Justine Ruszczyk Damond’s was killed by Officer Mohamed Noor , who is charged with murder and manslaughter.

Ruszczyk says his daughter is never far from his mind and he wishes she could tell him a different story about what happened that night.

He has filed a $50 million civil rights lawsuit which will be delayed until the state’s case against Noor is resolved.
