DeShaun Adriel Moorer, a 23-year-old male of African American ethnicity, tragically lost his life on December 27, 2020, in San Antonio, Texas. The incident occurred at the Navona at Live Oak apartments on the Northeast Side of San Antonio. According to an arrest affidavit, a witness heard yelling and gunshots coming from Moorer's apartment before discovering him lying on the floor with a gunshot wound to his chest.
Despite being rushed to Brooke Army Medical Center, Moorer succumbed to his injuries the following day.
The investigation led to the arrest of Imond Martise Woods, a 22-year-old male, who was charged with murder in connection with Moorer's death. Woods, who was subleasing the apartment where the incident occurred, admitted to shooting Moorer but claimed he had no memory of the event because he was high on acid at the time. Woods was arrested shortly after the shooting for driving while intoxicated and failing to stop and render aid after allegedly crashing his car into other vehicles minutes after the incident.
The Bexar County District Attorney's Office formally indicted Woods for murder, a first-degree felony, in June 2021. The indictment alleged that Woods "intentionally and knowingly caused the death of Moorer by shooting him with a deadly weapon ". The case remains ongoing, with Woods presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt by a jury or judge.
This tragic event has left a lasting impact on the community, and the pursuit of justice continues as the legal proceedings unfold.
