Jacquez Moore

On the evening of Super Bowl Sunday, February 2, 2020, Jacquez Moore was spending time with his girlfriend in Charlotte, North Carolina. The 19-year-old Black man and his girlfriend, Madison Geise, had just finished dinner at a restaurant and called an Uber for a ride. As they settled into the back seat, they were unaware that a man had been waiting outside for them and was now following their rideshare vehicle.

The couple’s Uber was traveling near the intersection of Old Concord Road and W.T. Harris Boulevard when the other car pulled up alongside it. The man inside, later identified as Trevor Powell, fired multiple shots into the rear of the Uber, striking both Jacquez and his girlfriend. The Uber driver, who was not hit, sped away from the gunfire before pulling over a short distance away to call 911.

When police and paramedics arrived at the scene, they found Jacquez Moore with fatal gunshot wounds. He was pronounced dead on site. Madison Geise was transported to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, including a gunshot wound to her hand. The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department launched a homicide investigation, and detectives learned that the suspect knew Jacquez.

Within days, investigators identified their suspect. On February 5, 2020, police arrested 28-year-old Trevor Lloyd Powell. He was charged with a number of offenses, including murder, attempted murder, assault with a deadly weapon, and discharging a firearm into an occupied vehicle.

Powell’s case proceeded through the court system, and he was reportedly out on bond for five years leading up to his trial. In November 2025, a jury found Trevor Powell guilty of the murder of Jacquez Moore. He was subsequently sentenced to life in prison, bringing the case to its legal conclusion.
