Moore was initially arrested on February 8, 2020 in connection with an armed robbery that occurred in the 1300 block of Marigny Street at about 10:47 p.m. that evening. After Moore’s arrest and through further investigation, Moore was found to be the perpetrator of an earlier armed robbery that occurred about 20 minutes prior in the 1330 block of Governor Nicholls Street, in the First District.
