Julius Marcus Moore was 14 when he was shot and killed while walking home in Rockingham, North Carolina, on March 26, 2021. He is remembered by family and the community as a good kid who enjoyed video games such as Fortnite, Minecraft, and Super Mario, and who liked school and helping others with technical issues on laptops and phones.

The investigation resulted in the arrest of Tito Jermaine Ray, who was charged with first-degree murder and is held in the Richmond County Jail awaiting trial. Julius’s death prompted local efforts around gun-violence support and prevention, including a group called Voice for Change, and his mother, Jo Deane Ziriax, has been active in raising awareness and supporting other bereaved families.

Does anyone have information about Julius’s final walk home or saw anything that night that could help the case?
