Ms Damond,a former Sydneysider who moved to Minneapolis,called emergency services after hearing a woman's screams.
When she approached Noor's police car in the alley he shot across his partner and out the vehicle's window,striking Ms Damond fatally.
TheMinneapolis Tribune reported on Wednesday that Noor's lawyer,Thomas Plunkett,had filed documents in court indicating he intends to use self-defence and reasonable force in Noor's legal defence.
Noor was charged by prosecutors in March with third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter.
