Daricka M Moore, a 24-year-old man from Mississippi, has been charged with murder after six people were killed in a shooting spree across multiple locations in West Point on Friday night. Authorities said the suspect targeted his own family members.
Clay County Sheriff Eddie Scott confirmed that Moore was arrested during the overnight hours and booked into Clay County jail at 03:25 on Saturday. The victims, who were shot at three separate locations in the rural community of Cedarbluff, included four of Moore's family members and two other adults. The youngest victim was Moore's 7-year-old second cousin, prompting an emotional response from the sheriff during a Saturday afternoon press conference.
