Anthony B. Moore was 27 when he was shot and killed in Chester, Pennsylvania, in the early morning of May 1, 2016. Around 1:20 a.m. he was found unresponsive near the corner of Fifth Street and City Hall Place with multiple gunshot wounds and was pronounced dead at the scene.

The shooting followed a fight inside the Gold Room bar between men from rival neighborhoods, Highland Gardens and Bennett Homes. Moore, who was associated with Bennett Homes, left the bar and was followed. As he tried to flee near an intersection, two men—identified as Erikk Wright and Alvin Henry Grasty—drew firearms and opened fire. Surveillance video from the bar and a nearby business recorded the incident.

Both suspects were arrested in May 2016 and charged with criminal homicide and first-degree murder. At trial the video showed Wright and Grasty firing at Moore; Grasty later admitted to carrying a gun and firing when confronted with the footage. On June 5, 2018, Grasty was convicted of first-degree murder and other weapons charges and received life without parole plus a consecutive 30 to 60 months; Wright was convicted of third-degree murder and related charges and received 18 to 36 years plus five years’ probation. The firearms used were never recovered.

Does anyone have information about the moments leading up to the fight at the Gold Room or the people involved?
