Hearing begins in Sgt. Moore Killing
The man accused of killing a Coeur d’Alene police officer in May is back in court this morning as prosecutors lay out their evidence and seek to have Jonathan Daniel Renfro held over for trial on first-degree murder and five other felony charges. Renfro, 27, allegedly shot Moore in the face as the officer questioned him early in the morning of May 5 in a quiet neighborhood a mile northwest of Lake City High School. Moore died later that day at Kootenai Health. Renfro was on felony parole at the time of the shooting and told investigators he feared Moore would find the stolen handgun he was carrying in his pocket – an offense that would have sent him back to prison, according to court documents. If convicted, he could be given the death penalty/Scott Maben, SR. More here.
