Robert Moffett, 47, of Pittsburg, California, was killed in a drive-by shooting on March 5, 2017. He was pronounced dead at the scene in the early morning hours. Investigators determined the shooting was gang-related and launched an extensive inquiry.

Authorities identified Giovante Keith Boyd as the primary suspect and accused him of firing the shots that killed Moffett; another person present was also the victim of an attempted murder. Boyd was located in Mississippi and returned to California to face charges. He later accepted a plea, pleading no contest to voluntary manslaughter and gang-related charges and received a 24-year prison sentence. Larry Darnell Goines Jr. was charged as an accessory after the fact for allegedly helping Boyd evade capture.
