On the evening of September 11, 2025, 34-year-old Galveston resident Tiamoya Moore was shot multiple times at her home in the 5100 block of Avenue Q. Officers were dispatched at about 7:49 p.m.; neighbors reported screams followed by gunfire. Responding personnel found Moore on her porch, and she was taken to UTMB emergency room where she was pronounced dead.

Initial witness accounts said the shooter fled on foot. Detectives focused on a domestic motive after witnesses identified the suspected shooter as Moore’s 16-year-old daughter. The teen returned while investigators were processing the scene, was taken into custody without incident, and a firearm was recovered nearby. The juvenile was placed at the Jerry J. Esmond Juvenile Justice Center on an offense of murder as the investigation continued.

Family and community posts remembered Moore as a devoted mother known for warmth and spirituality; relatives noted she had recently been celebrating sobriety. A fundraiser was launched to help cover funeral expenses. Does anyone have information about Tiamoya Moore, her family, or the events that night?
