On the morning of May 8, 2009, three men were killed in St. Louis near Union Station when occupants of an SUV stopped at a traffic signal were ambushed by gunmen in another vehicle. Among the dead was 27-year-old Dawon Moore. Byron Blassingame, also 27, and 32-year-old Allen Jones were the other victims.

Court documents later linked Moore and Blassingame to a joint police‑FBI probe into a Walnut Park street gang called the BAD Bloods, suspected in crack cocaine and other drug sales. Moore had prior convictions for drug, weapon, and forgery offenses; Blassingame and Jones also had criminal records. A federal indictment against Moore for four felonies alleging possession with intent to distribute crack cocaine had been sealed the day before the shooting.

Moore’s mother, Beverly Moore, has said she believes his killing was a targeted contract hit and has alleged police know the shooter and the person who ordered it. Raids after the murders resulted in weapons and drugs seized and arrests of others linked to the gang, but no individuals have been publicly identified as responsible for the three killings.

If anyone knew Moore, his associates, or has information about the attack, please share what is known.
