Hospital Mistakenly Sent Ricky Cobb II's Medicals To Police: Report

ROBBINSDALE, MN — A hospital mistakenly sent medical info belonging to the man killed by a state trooper to the Minneapolis Police Department, according to a report.

EMS crews from North Memorial Hospital responded to the scene in the early hours of July 31 after Ricky Cobb II was fatally shot during a traffic stop.

North Memorial mistakenly sent sensitive info to police that included a description of the scene of Cobb's death, his injuries, treatment, and graphical heart rate information, according to the Star Tribune.

The investigation into Cobb's death — and whether deadly force was justified — is ongoing.

According to the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehensions' preliminary investigation, on July 31 at 1:50 a.m., State Patrol trooper Brett Seide saw a car drive past him on I-94 without rear lights on.

After he pulled the car over, Seide learned the driver — identified as Cobb — was wanted on probable cause arrest for a felony order-for-protection violation issued by Ramsey County.

While Seide was gathering information, troopers Ryan Londregan and Garrett Erickson pulled up to assist.

As seen on video, all three troopers approached Cobb's car together. They asked him to get out of his car, but Cobb refused, so they tried to physically remove him, the BCA said. Londregan shot Cobb during the struggle.

Both Londregan and Seide were then knocked down as Cobb pulled away.

After getting back into their vehicles, the three troopers followed Cobb about a quarter-mile down the interstate, authorities said.

The troopers caught up Cobb's vehicle while it was slowing to a stop along the interstate's interior divider.

The troopers attempted life-saving measures, but Cobb died at the scene, authorities said. Londregan and Seide were hospitalized and later released.

BCA crime scene personnel recovered Cobb's car. Agents found two cartridge casings, a cell phone, and a handgun.
