Cedar Rapids, Ia (AP) — Linn County Attorney Jerry Vander Sanden has cleared of wrongdoing a Cedar Rapids police officer who fatally shot a man suspected of stabbing a woman to death.
KWWL reports that the prosecutor’s office found Officer Kyzer Moore was justified in shooting 39-year-old Arnell States, of Cedar Rapids, on Feb. 20 as States ran from a hotel where two women had been attacked.
Police say States was believed to have been the attacker who killed 34-year-old Katrina Latrese Brinson and injured another woman.
Moore is a nearly 4-year veteran of the Cedar Rapids Police Department.
