Jaylen Supreme Moore, 14, was shot near the intersection of King and Lee Streets in Greenville, Texas, on November 22, 2023. Police responded around 9:00 p.m., found Moore with gunshot wounds, and he was taken to a local hospital where he later died. Initial reports indicated he was likely not the intended target.

Investigators treated the shooting as part of a wider pattern of violence affecting parts of Greenville and questioned eyewitnesses and community members. Within days police identified multiple suspects and took one person into custody on suspicion of murder; officials had not disclosed the suspect’s identity. Authorities were continuing to follow leads to determine whether others were involved and to reconstruct the events leading to the shooting.

Moore’s death has prompted community calls for interventions to address youth violence and for local leaders to review public safety measures. If anyone has information about what happened that night or knew Moore, please come forward to help the investigation.
