On that Thursday evening Moore was shot twice and then crashed his vehicle into another car while trying to flee. Emergency responders arrived but he died at the crash scene. His death became one of several homicides in Jackson that year and prompted community calls to curb gun violence. His family held a vigil at the location and asked anyone with information to contact authorities.
