A Georgia prosecutor is due to announce Wednesday if two Atlanta cops will face criminal charges in the shooting death of Rayshard Brooks.

Fulton County District Attorney Paul Howard has scheduled a press conference for 3 p.m. to reveal the fates of ex-cop Garrett Rolfe, whose two shots killed Brooks, and Officer Devin Brosnan, who was placed on administrative leave, Howard said in a release.

Howard said Sunday that there were three “relevant” charges in the case — manslaughter, murder, and felony murder.

“But I believe in this instance, what we have to choose between — if there’s a choice to be made — is between murder and felony murder,” the prosecutor said then.

Brooks was killed Friday after a confrontation with the two cops outside a Wendy’s restaurant. Brooks, 27, struggled with the officers when they tried to handcuff him after a field sobriety test.

He scuffled with the officers before running off with one of their Tasers, and was shot twice in the back and killed.

Rolfe was fired the following day.

The Fulton County Medical Examiner’s Office ruled Brooks’ death a homicide on Sunday.
