Following Moore’s arrest, officers learned he had an active warrant out of Douglas County for attempted homicide, police said.
“After he’s finished dealing with his charges here in Cobb County, he’ll be transferred over to Douglas County,” Smyrna police Lt. Louis Defense said.
Channel 2′s Chris Jose obtained a Douglas County grand jury warrant that shows Moore is facing a handful of charges for an August 2020 shooting near Interstate 20 and Lee Road.
According to the warrant, the victim was seriously injured.
Moore is currently booked in the Cobb County jail.
