A welfare check on a Sunday evening led officers to a home in the 4000 block of Minnesota Avenue NE, Washington, D.C., where 33-year-old mother of two Maurisha Singletary was found fatally shot on October 5, 2025. DC Fire and EMS personnel found no signs of life and Singletary was pronounced dead at the scene. The Metropolitan Police Department’s Sixth District opened a homicide investigation and announced a reward of up to $25,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of those responsible.

Investigators quickly identified 45-year-old Marco Moore as the person wanted in connection with Singletary’s killing. The case record notes a history of domestic violence: Moore had been arrested about two weeks earlier for threatening to kill Singletary and was released by a judge on the condition that he stay away from her. On October 9, 2025, members of the Capital Area Regional Fugitive Task Force located Moore in an apartment on the 1400 block of Girard Street NW and attempted to execute a first-degree murder arrest warrant. An exchange of gunfire followed; Moore was struck multiple times, pronounced dead at the scene, and a firearm later recovered from the apartment.

Does anyone in the area have information about Singletary’s last known movements or observations about the 4000 block of Minnesota Avenue NE on October 5?
