In the early hours of Sunday, May 10, 2015, the life of 27-year-old Terrance Wayne Moore, a male resident of Northeast Washington, D.C., was tragically cut short. Just before 2 a.m., the sound of gunfire echoed in the 1800 block of North Capitol Street. When police responded to the scene, they discovered Moore suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
The Metropolitan Police Department launched a homicide investigation into Moore's death.
In the immediate aftermath, authorities had no clear motive for the shooting and no description of any suspects. The investigation remained open, with detectives from the Homicide Branch actively seeking information from the public. To encourage potential witnesses to come forward, a reward of up to $25,000 was offered for any information that would lead to the arrest and conviction of the person or persons responsible for the murder of Terrance Moore.
Despite the ongoing investigation and the offered reward, years have passed without a resolution in the case. As of late 2025, there have been no arrests made in connection with the homicide of Terrance Wayne Moore. The case remains unsolved, leaving a lingering sense of injustice and unanswered questions for his family and community. The police continue to appeal to the public for any information that might bring a breakthrough in this cold case.
