In the early hours of a Sunday morning in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, on April 19, 1998, the life of 18-year-old Bobby Moore was tragically cut short. Just after midnight, at approximately 12:05 a.m., Moore was walking down an alley in the 1800 block of W. Lincoln Avenue, accompanied by two friends. The quiet of the night was shattered when an unknown individual opened fire, unleashing numerous shots in their direction.
A bullet struck Moore in the head, inflicting a fatal wound.
He was quickly transported to a nearby hospital for medical attention, but his injuries proved too severe, and he succumbed to them. The male teenager's death was the result of gun violence, a fact that has left his case as an open wound in the city's history.
Despite the passage of time, the identity of the person who fired the shots remains a mystery. Information regarding any arrests or the identification of a suspect or suspects in the murder of Bobby Moore is not publicly available. The Milwaukee Police Department continues to classify the case as a cold case, appealing to the public for any information that might lead to a breakthrough and bring closure to the friends and family of the young man whose life was taken that spring night.
