A quiet Mother’s Day evening in Heber-Springs, Arkansas, ended in tragedy when deputies were called to Pine Snag Road for a reported shooting on Sunday, May 11, 2025. Responding officers found two men with gunshot wounds. John Moore, 28, was one of the victims; both were taken to a hospital but Moore later died of his injuries. The other man was treated and released.

An obituary describes Moore as a loving son, brother, and friend who enjoyed baseball, football, family time and his dogs. The Cleburne County Sheriff’s Office opened an active investigation, but by May 16, 2025 no suspect information or arrests had been disclosed and the circumstances that led to the shooting remain unexplained.

If anyone has information about what happened on Pine Snag Road that night, please come forward.
