Jasmine S. Moore, a 28-year-old African-American woman, was fatally shot in Indianapolis, Indiana on July 9, 2017. In the early morning hours, Moore was near the 1400 block of North Tremont Street when gunfire erupted. She was struck by a bullet and rushed to a nearby hospital, but she ultimately succumbed to her injuries.
At the time of her death, Moore was a mother to a young son. Her family expressed their profound grief and shock, stating they did not believe she was the intended target of the shooting. They described her as a loving mother and a well-respected individual who had recently returned to Indianapolis to celebrate her son's birthday after completing schooling in Salt Lake City, Utah.
The investigation into Jasmine S. Moore's death was handled by the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department. In the immediate aftermath of the shooting, police were looking at surveillance footage from nearby businesses to identify potential suspects. However, no arrests were immediately made, and police did not release any information about a possible motive or suspect.
Tragically, the violence surrounding Moore's death did not end with the initial incident. During her funeral procession, another shooting occurred, resulting in three people being injured. This second act of violence compounded the family's grief and brought further attention to the ongoing issue of gun violence in the city. Despite the public pleas from her family for those responsible to come forward, there have been no subsequent reports of arrests or the identification of any suspects in the years since her murder. The case of who killed Jasmine S. Moore remains unresolved.
