Overview

  • Shawn A. Moir, 26, was taken into custody Wednesday inside a Villanova University parking garage after U.S. Marshals located a black 2009 Chevrolet Tahoe linked to the case.
  • Authorities say Moir is wanted in Cumberland County, N.J., for the late-Tuesday fatal stabbing of his grandfather, 59-year-old Albert Moir, inside a Vineland home with a kitchen knife.
  • Members of the Eastern Pennsylvania Violent Crimes Fugitive Task Force conducted surveillance on the Tahoe, observed Moir in the vehicle, and arrested him without incident.
  • Moir was transported to the Radnor Township Police Department for processing, and officials emphasized the arrest was carried out without drawing student attention on campus.
  • A U.S. Marshal told local media Moir may have remained in the garage for over 10 hours, and the suspect reportedly said he drove around, got gas, and chose the garage before settling there.
