Overview
- Authorities identified the suspect as Daricka M. Moore, 24, who was arrested at a roadblock around 11:24 p.m. Friday and booked into the Clay County jail at 3:25 a.m. on a first-degree murder charge.
- Sheriff Eddie Scott said the victims include Moore’s father Glenn Moore, uncle Willie Guines, and brother Quinten Moore at the first scene, a 7-year-old cousin at a second location, and pastor Barry Bradley and Samuel Bradley at a church residence.
- Investigators outlined a sequence starting at a family home on David Hill Road, then a residence on Blake Road where an attempted sexual battery was reported, followed by a church residence on Siloam-Griffith Road, with stolen pickups used between scenes.
- Evidence and witness accounts indicate Moore acted alone; officers recovered a rifle and a handgun, autopsies are underway, and no motive has been determined.
- District Attorney Scott Colom said he will pursue capital murder and the death penalty, with an initial court appearance set for Monday as the rural Cedarbluff/West Point community reels from the killings.
