Susan Raye Moore, 25, of Fayetteville, North Carolina, was abducted and murdered on August 17, 1998. She and her friend Tracy Rose Lambert were shot dead in what investigators determined was a gang initiation carried out by members of the Crips. The shooters used bullets painted blue, a detail tied to the gang’s symbolism.

Two men, Francisco Paco Tirado, 19, and Eric Queen, 21, were arrested in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, found with gang paraphernalia and items belonging to the victims. The same group had carjacked and shot Debra Cheeseborough, who survived and later provided information to investigators. Tirado and Queen were sentenced to death for their roles in the killings.

The case drew intense attention at trial, with emotional testimony from victims’ families and survivors. Does anyone have memories of the victims, the trial, or information about the events leading up to August 17, 1998?
