Jeremiah Khari Moore was 7 when he was killed on July 12, 2022, in East Chicago, Indiana. He was asleep in his car seat in the back of the family’s van as they returned from visiting relatives in Chicago. Near Guthrie and Main streets, the vehicle was struck by gunfire; Jeremiah suffered a gunshot wound to the back of his head and was pronounced dead shortly after being taken to St. Catherine’s Hospital.

Police say the family may have been followed from a gas station where they had noticed a red Dodge Charger with tinted windows, and investigators believe multiple shooters fired on the van. Jeremiah’s pregnant mother and his siblings were in the vehicle; the mother has said she believes the attack may have been mistaken identity. No arrests or public suspect identifications have been announced.

Anyone who was near Guthrie and Main on the night of July 12, 2022, or who saw a red Dodge Charger in the area is asked to come forward with information.
