End of Watch: Wednesday, January 26, 2011
Age: 29
Tour of Duty: 6 years

Officer David Moore succumbed to gunshot wounds suffered three days earlier while making a traffic stop near 3400 North Temple Avenue.

As Officer Moore approached the car at approximately 9:00 am, he was shot four times by the driver who fled the scene. A passer-by called 911 to report that an officer was down. Officer Moore, who was wearing a bullet-resistant vest, was shot in the chest, the left thigh and twice in his face. He was taken to Wishard Memorial Hospital where he remained in a coma until being taken off life support and his organs were donated.

A 60-year-old parolee was arrested later that evening and is being held on unrelated armed robbery charges.

Officer Moore had served with the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department for six years and was assigned to the North District. He is survived by his parents. His mother currently serves as a sergeant and his father retired as a lieutenant with the department.
