Elijah Moore, 22, was found shot and dead at his home on Carroway Street in Tampa, Florida, on January 17, 2018. The Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office discovered his body around 2:15 a.m. and opened a homicide investigation; a crime scene was established as detectives worked to determine what happened.

Investigators identified 23-year-old Javon Rakeem Turner as the primary suspect. Turner, described as having a prior record for burglary and grand theft, was accused of shooting Moore. A warrant was issued listing Turner as armed and dangerous; he was later taken into custody after turning himself in to the Orient Road Jail and charged with first-degree premeditated murder and possession of a firearm by a felon.

The case drew local attention given the violent circumstances and Turner’s criminal history. Tips from the public were reported as playing a role in locating and apprehending the suspect. Does anyone have information about Elijah’s life in the Grant Park area or the events that night?
