KHQ is learning disturbing new details about the shooting of Coeur d’Alene Police Sgt. Greg Moore last may and what the man accused of that shooting has been doing while awaiting his trial.
In documents presented in Kootenai County Court Wednesday, prosecutors amended their notice of intent to seek the death penalty in the case of Jonathan Renfro. Based on evidence, prosecutors are asking a judge to grant their motion to add aggravating circumstances, which would strengthen their case to put Renfro to death.
After looking at dash cam and body cam footage, prosecutors say Renfro was attempting a burglary at the time Sgt. Moore was killed. The documents say Renfro was seen taking the officer’s gun and searching for his driver’s license after the shooting.
During an interview with investigators, Renfro confessed to looking for a call to steal for a white supremacist, and associates say he was also running a burglary ring.
Prosecutors also say that while Renfro has been in jail, he has made weapons, planned to escape, harmed corrections officers and violently threatened other inmates.
According to the documents, Renfro was seen laughing and smiling while talking over video phone about his charges. He also justified the killing of Sgt. Moore as being noble, saying cops would “think twice” before being aggressive with individuals. The prosecutors’ motion also states that before the shooting happened, Renfro showed a gun to a woman, saying a bullet in the magazine was a “cop killer” bullet.
KHQ spoke briefly with the Kootenai County Prosecutors Office Wednesday about the motion, but they told us they couldn’t speak about the case, which is set to go to trial in February.
