Body Camera Captures Shooting

Grieving family, friends and co-workers of a slain Coeur d’Alene police officer are preparing for his funeral Saturday, while new details emerged Wednesday about the early morning encounter that left Sgt. Greg Moore gravely wounded. The shooting was captured by Moore’s body camera, and the Rathdrum man who is expected to face a murder charge in Moore’s death said in a police interview he shot the officer fearing Moore would find the gun in his pocket. Jonathan Daniel Renfro, a 26-year-old felon who was on parole and could not legally possess firearms, pulled out his 9 mm Glock pistol and shot Moore on a residential street about 1:20 a.m. Tuesday, court documents allege. He then stole the officer’s gun, ammunition and patrol car, investigators say. Moore, who served 16 years with the department, died that evening at Kootenai Health from a gunshot wound to the head. Escorted by a dozen police cars and motorcycles, his body was transported Wednesday morning to Providence Holy Family Hospital in Spokane for an autopsy/Scott Maben, SR. More here .
