Antoine Romell Moore Jr., 23, was killed in a daytime shooting on a busy East Chicago street. On November 26, 2021, at about 4:00 PM, Moore and 24-year-old Basha Woods were near 139th Street and Main Street, reportedly filming a rap video by a parked Jeep when three assailants opened fire. City and business surveillance captured the attack; East Chicago Police’s shot spotter registered 23 rapid-fire shots and investigators placed more than 50 evidence markers around the Jeep.

Both victims suffered multiple gunshot wounds. Woods was pronounced dead at the scene; Moore was taken to St. Catherine Hospital and later died. The motive for the targeted attack is unclear, and no arrests have been announced. Moore is remembered by family as a son, grandson, brother and father to a young daughter.

Anyone who was in downtown East Chicago on November 26, 2021, or who has information about the shooting is asked to contact the East Chicago Police Department.
