Detectives learned that a physical altercation occurred between Moore and a woman during which the woman was being dragged and hit in the face multiple times, Kegler said. A juvenile witnessed the assault and grabbed a knife and stabbed Moore to protect the woman.
Detectives consulted with a member of the 15th Judicial Circuit Solicitor’s office, who was at the scene, and determined the homicide was justified, Kegler said. Authorities said the case is considered close.
