The Minneapolis police officer who fatally shot an Australian woman in July turned himself in Tuesday after a warrant was issued for his arrest. Authorities said charges against Officer Mohamed Noor are expected to be announced later Tuesday.

Tom Plunkett, an attorney for Noor, said his client turned himself in to police custody in the death of Justine Ruszczyk Damond.

Damond was shot July 15, minutes after calling 911 to report a possible sexual assault in the alley behind her home.

The 40-year-old life coach was engaged to be married.

Hennepin County Attorney Mike Freeman was scheduled to discuss charges in the case at a 2:30 p.m. news conference.

Noor has not talked publicly about the case and declined to be interviewed by state investigators.

The Minneapolis police officer who mistakenly shot and killed an Australian woman in July was behind bars Tuesday and charged with third-degree murder.

Officer Mohamed Noor was also charged with second-degree manslaughter in connection with the death of Justine Ruszczyk Damond, according to records from the Hennepin County Jail.

I have to prove, beyond a reasonable doubt, the moment he shot the gun he feared for his life, and he used force because he thought he was gonna be killed,” Freeman told activists in a videotaped exchange. “But he won’t answer my questions, because he doesn't have to, OK? We all have Fifth Amendment rights, and I respect that."
