Officer David Moore succumbed to gunshot wounds suffered three days earlier after stopping a stolen vehicle at 9:05 am in the 3400 block of North Temple Avenue.

As the driver and Officer Moore, whose weapon was holstered, were outside their vehicles, he was shot four times by the subject who fled the scene. Officer Moore, who was wearing a bullet-resistant vest, was shot in the chest, the left thigh and twice in his face. He was taken to Wishard Memorial Hospital where he remained in a coma until being taken off life support after his organs were donated.

A 60-year-old parolee was apprehended later that evening and held for a robbery committed 50 minutes after the shooting. He has been charged with murder, armed robbery and possession of a firearm by a felon.

Officer Moore had served with the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department for 6½ years and was assigned to the North District. He was posthumously awarded the department's Medal of Honor and Purple Heart. Officer Moore is survived by his parents and sister. His mother currently serves as a sergeant and his father retired as a lieutenant with the department.
