On a tragic Friday evening in Cedarbluff, Mississippi, the life of 33-year-old Quinten Kevell Moore, a beloved content creator, was cut short on January 9, 2026. He was a victim of a shooting rampage that claimed the lives of five other people. Quinten, born on November 29, 1992, in West Point, was a married father of three who was known for his engaging storytelling and creative spirit.
His death was part of a devastating series of events that unfolded across three different locations in Clay County. The initial incident occurred at a residence on David Hill Road, where Quinten Moore, his father Glenn Moore, 67, and his uncle Willie Guines, 55, were all fatally shot. Each man was reportedly shot in the head.
The alleged perpetrator of this horrific crime was identified as Daricka M. Moore, who was 24 years old at the time and is Quinten's brother. Following the initial shootings, Daricka Moore allegedly stole his brother Quinten's Ford F-150 truck and proceeded to a second location on Blake Road. There, he is accused of forcibly entering a home and killing his 7-year-old second cousin, Mikiylia Guines, after an attempted sexual assault. The rampage continued to a third location on Siloam-Griffith Road, where two more victims, Barry Bradley and Samuel Bradley, were found deceased from gunshot wounds. One of these men was the pastor of a local church. A multi-agency law enforcement effort led to the arrest of Daricka Moore at a safety checkpoint just before midnight on the same day.
Daricka M. Moore was taken into custody and charged with multiple counts, including first-degree murder, which were expected to be upgraded to capital murder. He is being held without bail in the Clay County Jail. During his initial court appearance, he pleaded not guilty to 11 charges, which included capital murder, first-degree murder, attempted murder of a child, attempted sexual battery, burglary, and motor vehicle theft. The District Attorney has stated the intention to seek the death penalty in this case. A judge ordered a mental evaluation for the accused. The case has sent shockwaves through the community, with law enforcement officials describing it as one of the most horrific crimes they have investigated. While the motive for the killings remains under investigation, the tragic events of that day left a family and a community grieving the senseless loss of six lives, including that of Quinten Moore.
