Jose Francisco Moreno, 25, was shot and killed in the early morning hours of July 22, 2017, in the parking lot of a Denny’s in the 3100 block of Ryan Drive Southeast in Salem, Oregon. Officers responding to a shots-fired call at 3:26 a.m. found Moreno bleeding; he died at the scene. He grew up in Mill City and was remembered by his sister as a good kid who loved everybody.

Also at the scene was 33-year-old private security guard Gregory Weston Capwell, employed by Homefront Security. After interviews and review of surveillance, detectives arrested Capwell on July 28, 2017, on a charge of murder; he was denied bail at his initial court appearance. Moreno’s family later filed a $10 million lawsuit naming Capwell and Homefront Security Services, alleging negligent hiring and training and citing prior concerning behavior by Capwell.

If anyone was in the Ryan Drive area that night or has information about Moreno or the security guard’s actions, please share what is known.
