In the summer of 2018, the life of Deontre Tre Borders-Moore Sr., a 21-year-old male, was cut short by gunfire in his hometown of Gary, Indiana. On the evening of Sunday, July 22, 2018, police responded to a call in the 1500 block of Lincoln Street. There, they discovered Borders-Moore unresponsive, having sustained multiple gunshot wounds. Despite the efforts of first responders, he was pronounced dead at the scene.
The initial investigation into his death was handled by the Gary Police Department and the Lake County Coroner’s Office. At the time of the incident, authorities did not have anyone in custody and details about potential suspects or a motive were not publicly released. The investigation was described as ongoing as detectives began the search for answers into the violent end of a young life.
In the years that have followed, public online sources have not provided any updates regarding arrests or the identification of any suspects in the murder of Deontre Tre Borders-Moore Sr. A court document from late 2018, filed in a separate case, mentioned a 'Deontre Borders' as a known associate of a local street gang, and detailed ongoing violent conflicts between rival groups in Gary. However, no direct link between this information and Borders-Moore's death has been publicly established by law enforcement. The case, according to available information, remains unresolved, leaving a lingering question of who was responsible for his death.
