On the night of June 8, 2019, 29-year-old Mark Alan Moore was shot while sitting in a parked car on Button Street in New Haven’s Hill neighborhood. Police responded to 911 calls and a ShotSpotter alert and found Moore with a gunshot wound between Spring and Putnam Streets. He was taken to Yale New Haven Hospital with life-threatening injuries and died the next afternoon, June 9, 2019, with his family at his side. His death was ruled the city’s fourth homicide of 2019 and the New Haven Police Department Detective Bureau opened an investigation.

Mark was born and raised in New Haven, worked at C and S Wholesale Foods, and was attending NETTTS Truck Driving School. A father of four, he enjoyed fashion and rap music. His parents, Mark and Helena Moore, had already endured the earlier loss of another son to violence. The case remained unsolved as of late 2020 and no arrests have been announced.
