The prosecutor’s office found Officer Kyzer Moore was justified in shooting Arnell States, 39, of Cedar Rapids, on Feb. 20 as States ran from a hotel where two women had been attacked, KWWL reported Wednesday. Police have said States was believed to have been the attacker who killed 34-year-old Katrina Latrese Brinson and injured another woman. Investigators said States came at the officer with a knife and refused orders to drop the weapon before he was shot.
