On April 13, 2022, 16-year-old Darius Dvon Moore was shot and killed in the parking lot of The Overlook at Monroe Apartments in Sanford, Florida. He and 21-year-old Willie Keshawn Baker III were both found with multiple gunshot wounds and later died at the hospital. The shooting reportedly stemmed from a drug-related robbery attempt linked to a planned meeting for a drug transaction.

Investigators say Baker arranged the meeting with 21-year-old Ernst Baptiste. Baptiste, Moore and others allegedly intended to rob Baker; during the confrontation both Moore and Baker fired handguns and were killed. Baptiste left the scene with 490 grams of cannabis and was later indicted on multiple charges. Police continue to investigate other individuals who may have been involved. The shooting took place near a playground, raising community safety concerns; a reward of up to $5,000 is being offered for information or video of the incident.

If anyone saw the meeting or has surveillance footage from the apartment complex that night, please contact the Sanford Police Department.
