On the morning of September 18, 2002, Michael Moore, 43, was shot dead on the sidewalk outside his home on Lemay Street in Detroit. A stolen burgundy-and-gray Chevy Lumina van pulled up, and two men in black hooded sweatshirts approached; the passenger jumped out with a high-velocity rifle described as an AKC or SKS type and fired multiple rounds into Moore’s back. Spent casings, Moore’s briefcase, and his sunglasses were left at the scene.

The van was later driven a few blocks to a house on Fairview, torched, abandoned, and the assailants escaped in another car described as blue or green. Tyrone Traylor testified that longtime associate Edward Johnigan talked about buying guns, taking paid hits for $10,000 each, and explicitly named a man called Mike, pointing out his home and workplace; Traylor said Johnigan later claimed responsibility for a daytime ambush matching Moore’s killing. Johnigan was arrested February 19, 2003; he was acquitted of first-degree murder and felony-firearm in Moore’s case but convicted only of being a felon in possession of a firearm and later sentenced for that weapons conviction.

Does anyone have additional information about Moore’s life, work, or acquaintances that could help clarify who carried out the shooting?
