On the night of October 29, multiple callers alerted authorities to a burglary in progress accompanied by the sound of gunshots. An officer in the vicinity heard the gunfire and responded promptly, observing several individuals fleeing the scene. Subsequent investigative efforts by detectives led to the identification of Moore, who was apprehended on December 10.
Authorities executed a search and seizure warrant at a residence also located in the 100 block of E South Street. During the execution of the warrant, detectives arrested Moore, who was subsequently charged with First Degree Assault, Second Degree Assault, Reckless Endangerment, Possession of a Firearm After Felony Conviction, and several other firearm-related offenses. A firearm was recovered at the residence. Moore is currently being held without bond.
The investigation and subsequent arrest were supported by funding from the Governor’s Office of Crime Prevention and Policy.
