A Fourth of July gathering at the Romney Meadows apartment complex in Lafayette, Indiana, ended in fatal violence on the night of July 5, 2021. Moore tried to retreat into her apartment with her children, including her 3-year-old daughter, Datoria Roberts.

Roberts followed and fired about 22 rounds from a pistol with an extended magazine. Moore was struck 17 times while holding Datoria; the child was hit five times. First responders found Datoria conscious and able to identify her father on body camera footage before she was airlifted to a children’s hospital and died during surgery. Moore was pronounced dead at the scene.

Roberts fled in a blue Chrysler 300 but was stopped by police early the next morning and arrested; officers observed blood on his shirt. He later pleaded guilty to two counts of murder and was sentenced to consecutive 60-year terms, totaling 120 years.

Did anyone at Romney Meadows see anything in the hours before the shooting that could shed more light on what happened?
