Michael D. Moore, 31, was shot to death on the night of August 6, 2019, on the 800 block of S. Whitney Drive in Jupiter, Florida. Police found Moore with multiple gunshot wounds around 10:36 p.m.; he was taken to St. Mary’s Medical Center and later pronounced dead. Moore worked in construction.

Police identified 22-year-old James E. Stainthorpe as the person who fled the scene on a bicycle. Witnesses said they saw Stainthorpe shoot Moore with a small handgun and then leave. Officers later arrested Stainthorpe; the arrest report says he hid the gun in his bedroom, did not call 911, and told police he felt threatened by Moore. Stainthorpe was held without bail and charged with second-degree murder. Reports say a dispute involving a mutual acquaintance escalated into the fatal shooting.

Several details about motive and the precise nature of the threat remain unclear. Did anyone in the neighborhood see or hear what led up to the confrontation?
