Melissa L. Moore was 14 when she was shot and killed on March 25, 2006, after attending a zombie-themed rave in Seattle’s Capitol Hill neighborhood. Known to friends as China Doll and described as vibrant and friendly, she had gone with new acquaintances to an after-party at a small blue house on East Republican Street where she and a 15-year-old girl, Suzanne Thorne, sat on the front porch waiting for a ride.

Shortly before 7 a.m., 28-year-old Kyle Aaron Huff left the house, returned to his pickup, and armed himself with a pistol-grip shotgun and a handgun. He opened fire on partygoers, fatally wounding Melissa with shotgun and gunshot wounds. Huff killed six people in the attack before he died; Melissa was among those killed.

Melissa was a ninth-grader from Tacoma who loved life and making friends. If anyone knew Melissa, witnessed events that morning, or has information that could shed light on her last hours, please come forward.
