Angie Melissa Moore, 45, of Waco, Texas, was shot dead on September 6, 2022. Known in her community as a vet tech turned carpenter who loved animals and had a 13-year-old son, she was found unresponsive in a large pool of blood and pronounced dead at the scene.

That night Moore called police to report a break-in and said she had a gun and would be forced to shoot her neighbor, Cynthia Ellen Ming, in self-defense. Officers encountered Ming completely naked and covered in blood as she tried to flee. Ming was tasered, taken for medical treatment, and while receiving care allegedly confessed to shooting Moore in the head with Moore’s own shotgun, saying Moore had killed her dog; the affidavit did not detail how the dog was purportedly killed.

Cynthia Ming was arrested and charged with first-degree murder and held at the McLennan County Jail on $1 million bond. The investigation remains active. If anyone knew Angie, her routines, or has information about the events that night, please come forward.
