On a cold December afternoon in Baltimore, Maryland, the life of 25-year-old Ebony Moore was tragically cut short. On December 13, 2018, the mother of two was in the Cherry Hill neighborhood, having just taken her cousin to a social services office. After her errand, Moore crossed the street to buy cigarettes. Upon returning to her car, while she was sitting inside, she was shot multiple times. The shooting occurred around 1:23 p.m. in the parking lot of the government building located at 18 Reedbird Avenue.
First responders rushed Ebony Moore to a local trauma center, but her injuries proved to be fatal, and she was pronounced dead. Known affectionately as 'E-Bae,' 'M4M4,' or 'POOTIE,' she was remembered by loved ones as a joyful and loving person with a big heart who could light up a room and make everyone laugh and smile. She left behind a young daughter and son.
The investigation into Ebony Moore's death is ongoing, and authorities have not publicly identified any suspects or made any arrests in the case. While the motive for the shooting remains unclear, police have stated that they do not believe it was a robbery. Investigators were hopeful that surveillance cameras from the social services office may have captured crucial evidence to help solve the crime. In the years following her death, Moore's family has continued to hold vigils and make public pleas for anyone with information to come forward, seeking justice and closure for their profound loss.
