Officer Brian Raymond Moore was a 25-year-old New York City Police Department officer on the evening of May 2, 2015. Near the end of his shift he and his partner, Erik Jansen, were patrolling in an unmarked vehicle in a residential Queens neighborhood when they approached a man later identified as Demetrius Blackwell.

Moore was taken to Jamaica Hospital Medical Center, underwent surgery and was placed in a medically induced coma. He died of his injuries on May 4, 2015. He had served five years and had made over 150 arrests; he came from a family of police officers and was posthumously promoted to Detective First-Grade.

Blackwell, who had a prior conviction for attempted murder, was arrested shortly after the shooting. A grand jury returned a 12-count indictment including first-degree murder, aggravated assault on a police officer, and criminal possession of a weapon. At trial prosecutors introduced DNA evidence linking Blackwell to the weapon while the defense argued severe epilepsy and seizures impaired his responsibility. The jury found him guilty on all counts and he was later sentenced to life without parole.

If anyone knew Officer Moore, his patrol area, or observed activity in that Queens neighborhood on the night of May 2, 2015, please share information.
