He and his partner were working a plainclothes detail when they observed a subject playing with an object in his waistband. They pulled alongside the subject and asked him what he was carrying. The subject responded by pulling out a handgun and opening fire into the vehicle, striking Officer Moore in the face.
Officer Moore was transported to a local hospital where he remained unconscious until passing away two days later. The subject was identified by several witnesses and was arrested at his home shortly afterwards.
In his service with New York Police Department, Officer Moore had earned two exceptional police service medals and two meritorious police service medals.
