Corporal David Wayne Moss, 31, of the Williston Police Department in Florida, was killed on July 30, 1988 after responding to a disabled vehicle near the corner of Southwest 6th Street and 1st Avenue. He arrived at about 2:10 am to offer assistance and stopped responding to dispatch about eight minutes later. When his partner reached the scene both Moss and the assailant were found dead.
Forensic investigators determined Moss died of a gunshot wound sustained in an exchange of gunfire. Moss fired six rounds and struck his assailant five times; the assailant, identified as David Allen Jenkins, had a .25 caliber handgun and was also killed. Moss was a U.S. Air Force veteran who had served four years with the Williston department and was survived by his wife, parents, and two brothers.
The investigation concluded Jenkins acted alone and there were no further arrests or suspects. Main Street between First and Noble Avenues was renamed Cpl. David Wayne Moss Street in July 2008.
