Doran Rashad Moore was 35 when he was shot to death the night of December 21, 2017, outside his home in the 3000 block of Fourth Street Circle in West Jacksonville, Florida. Officers were called about 9:15 p.m. and found Moore in his front yard with at least one gunshot wound; paramedics pronounced him dead at the scene. The killing was recorded as Jacksonville’s 134th homicide of the year.

Detectives reported a man later arrived at UF Health Jacksonville with a non-life-threatening gunshot wound and was interviewed, but police did not confirm what came from that interview and had no description of a shooter. Investigators noted a separate, unrelated murder arrest that night of 37-year-old Nicholus Marquette Mitchell at a Days Inn parking lot; Mitchell’s address was described as less than two blocks away, but police did not link him to Moore’s death. No suspects were identified and no arrests had been announced in Moore’s case.

Moore was remembered by friends and family as a father and musician active in the local music scene. If anyone has information that could help solve this killing, please come forward to the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office.
