Law enforcement officials began an investigation into the
homicide, treating it as a targeted event. They appealed to the public for any information that might lead to the apprehension of those responsible for Moore's death. Despite their efforts and the initial belief that he was intentionally killed, there have been no publicly announced arrests or identification of any suspects in the years following the incident.

The circumstances surrounding his murder remain a mystery, and the individuals responsible for his death have not been brought to trial or convicted for their actions. His death continues to be an unsolved homicide, a somber note in the history of the Suitland community.
