As previously reported, one count each of felonious assault and improperly discharging a firearm at or into a school safety zone were dismissed as part of Moore’s plea agreement.
The shooting happened in the 2300 block of Elsmere Avenue at Fairview Elementary on April 12, 2026.
A person told police he was at the school playing basketball when a juvenile kept fouling him, according to an affidavit and statement of facts initially filed in Dayton Municipal Court.
The person and the juvenile got into a fight.
The juvenile left the park and returned with Moore, who claimed to be his father.
Moore threatened to shoot people at the park and pointed a gun at the person the juvenile was fighting with, court documents allege.
Moore then got back into his car with his son and reached out the passenger window and allegedly fired shots.
A bystander was grazed by a bullet in his left hip. Another was shot in the hand, and the bullet traveled through his leg and pelvis, according to court records.
