Robert J. Moore was 55 when he was killed on the porch of a home on Avondale Drive in Fort Wayne, Indiana. On the night of September 20, 2016, gunfire erupted just before 11 p.m. while he was with family members; officers who were close enough to hear the shots found him with gunshot wounds and he was pronounced dead at the scene. The Allen County Coroner’s Office ruled his death a homicide by gunshot wounds.

Investigators later concluded Moore was the victim of mistaken identity: the shooters were aiming for a rival gang member. Three people were arrested in connection with the killing — Derek R. Ford, Kahmarri Spencer, and Trevon Sullivan. A Fort Wayne gang unit traffic stop a few days after the shooting yielded a gun magazine on Spencer that matched shell casings from the scene. Ford later pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter and received a 17½-year prison sentence; Spencer and Sullivan were scheduled for sentencing.

If anyone knew Robert Moore or has information about the night he was killed, please come forward.
