Michael Moser, 66, of Palm Springs, was shot and killed on March 24, 2022, at the Desert Hills Premium Outlets in Cabazon, California. He had stopped at the mall to charge his vehicle and get a coffee just before 7 p.m. and was followed by three people into a public restroom, where an attempted robbery at gunpoint ended with Moser being fatally shot.

Investigators identified two twin brothers, Elijah and Emmanuel Burt, both 20, and 19-year-old Reginald Trice as the suspects. The three were arrested and charged: Elijah Burt with first-degree murder, Emmanuel Burt with robbery, and Reginald Trice with murder. All pleaded not guilty and the trial was scheduled to begin June 9, 2023. Moser, a former vice president at Harry Winston and a well-known figure in the luxury jewelry industry, is remembered by family and the community for his dedication and spirit.

If anyone was at Desert Hills Premium Outlets that evening or has information about the approach into the restroom, please come forward.
