Overview

• Gregory J. Moore, 51, was arrested by U.S. Marshals in Austin, Texas, and is awaiting extradition to Ohio for his arraignment scheduled on May 16, 2025.
• Moore is accused of orchestrating the 2013 murder of Aliza Sherman, a 53-year-old nurse and mother of three, who was fatally stabbed outside his Cleveland law office.
• Prosecutors allege Moore planned the attack to obstruct Sherman’s divorce trial, claiming he was unprepared and sought to delay proceedings by rendering her unavailable through harm or death.
• The Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation reopened the case in 2021, utilizing advanced forensic technology and over 6,000 hours of investigative work to build the case against Moore.
• Court documents reveal Moore’s history of manipulation, including bomb threats in 2012 to delay trials, and creating false evidence after Sherman’s murder to evade suspicion.
