Mustafa Tariq Moody, 39, known to some as Moo, was found dead in his Upper Darby apartment on January 18, 2023, after family contact with him stopped on January 16. Friends who entered his unit above the J & J Mini-Mart on the 400 block of Long Lane discovered he had suffered a single gunshot wound to the back of his head; the apartment appeared ransacked and no money was found. Investigators recovered a .45-caliber cartridge casing, drug paraphernalia, and sealed bags of a green vegetable-like substance.

Surveillance footage shows Moody entering his apartment at 7:31 p.m. on January 16 and not leaving alive. A man entered at 8:33 p.m., followed by a second man with a noticeable limp at 9:05 p.m.; both left at 9:09 p.m. carrying a large black box. Police identified the men as 21-year-old Hyibreaire Rigney and 31-year-old Davontaye Johnson, known as Big Cuzzo. Texts between them that night include a message alleged to say To da head, and Moody’s phone was last active at 8:55 p.m.

In February 2023 Johnson was arrested on an outstanding warrant and items including a phone and clothing linked to the footage were seized from his home. On May 23, 2023, both Rigney and Johnson were charged with homicide and related offenses; authorities described the motive as a drug deal gone bad and pure greed. Did anyone in Upper Darby see Moody or his blue sedan the evening of January 16?
