A chance meeting at an Indianapolis gas station in the summer of 2003 led to the murders of two teenagers. Seventeen-year-old Nireah Johnson, an African American transgender female, and her 18-year-old friend Brandie Coleman were killed on July 23, 2003. The vehicle was later set on fire and the badly burned bodies were found in the torched Jeep.

Ballistic testing linked the bullets to a handgun previously confiscated from Moore. Moore was arrested July 31, 2003, and charged with murder, criminal confinement, and arson; he was later found guilty by a jury in April 2004 on two counts of murder and related charges. Clarence McGee was convicted of arson, assisting a criminal, and obstruction of justice; Curtis Ward testified against Moore in exchange for reduced charges. If anyone knew Nireah, Brandie, or has information about what happened that night, please come forward.
