On December 11, 2023, Jacolby Marquis Moore, 31, was shot on Fairview Farm Way in Huntsville, Alabama, shortly before 2 a.m. He was found with gunshot wounds and died despite efforts to save him. Authorities treat the case as a homicide and the Huntsville Police Department’s Major Crimes Unit described the shooting as believed to be an isolated incident.

Family members remembered Jacolby, known as Black, as a loving, kindhearted man with a big, infectious smile, a devoted fiancé La’Princia Miller, and two children. He had started a clothing line called Blackland and was described as selfless with ambitions to make a positive impact. Investigators identified a person of interest and secured a capital murder warrant for 42-year-old Travis Santell Blackburn, who was publicly described as known to drive a 2002 dark green Cadillac Escalade.

The family held a balloon release at Big Spring Park in Moore’s favorite colors, black and blue, and urged anyone with information about the suspected killer’s whereabouts to contact the Huntsville Police. If anyone knew Jacolby or has information that could help, please share it with investigators.
