Michael Cox, a 57-year-old Black man from Baltimore, was shot and killed on the morning of November 15, 2020, on the 300 block of South 13th Street in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Officers were called shortly after 10:30 a.m.; Cox suffered gunshot injuries and died from the wounds. His death was described as the third shooting in the city in less than 24 hours.

Within days Harrisburg police arrested 17-year-old Keith Moore and charged him with criminal homicide, robbery, and carrying a firearm without a license. Investigators said the shooting was not random. Early accounts reported Moore admitted firing the shots but claimed he had been attacked and acted in self-defense; police disputed that version, citing surveillance footage, social media messages, and an allegation Moore later tried to sell Cox’s handgun.

Later court coverage indicated the case went to trial and that jurors rejected Moore’s self-defense claim in the 2020 killing. No other suspects have been publicly identified. Did anyone in Harrisburg know Michael Cox or see him that morning?
