Tanajwa Ayesha McMurray, 31, was shot to death at her home on Pittsfield Drive in Fayetteville, North Carolina, on October 11, 2021. She was five months pregnant. Tanajwa, who worked as a 911 dispatcher for Cumberland County, was found with a gunshot wound to the head; court documents say it appeared she had tried to defend herself.

According to charging documents, her live-in boyfriend, Willie Earl Moore, 27, called 911 after the shooting and later fled in Tanajwa’s 2019 Toyota Prius. U.S. Marshals recovered the vehicle in Marlboro County, South Carolina. Moore was charged with murder, murder of an unborn child, possession of a firearm by a felon, larceny of a motor vehicle, and possession of a stolen vehicle; he was booked October 17, 2021. Tanajwa’s 10-year-old daughter was in the house during the incident, and less than a week earlier Tanajwa had called 911 about a verbal dispute between the couple.

Anyone who knew Tanajwa or has information about the case is asked to come forward.
