Wendy Johnson told WXIN that her cousin, Jeanettrius Moore, and Halfacre, the father of Moore’s 6-month-old daughter, battled over a $1,400 stimulus check released as part of the federal government’s COVID-19 relief package on Friday.

According to Johnson, who is familiar with Moore’s account of the incident, “She had just gotten her money, and he wanted half of her money,”

Halfacre left after Moore offered him $450, vowing to “get that money,” according to Johnson.

Johnson told WXIN that when he returned to the house the next evening, he discovered Moore with family members. According to Johnson, Halfacre requested the money once more and began looking through Moore’s pocket.

Halfacre pulled out a gun and opened fire as the argument heated up, injuring Moore and killing her brother, Daquan Moore (23 years old), her mother, Tomeeka Brown (44 years old) her cousin, Anthony Johnson (35 years old) and her daughter, Eve Moore (7 years old), according to WXIN. According to Johnson, Halfacre then fled with the couple’s infant daughter, Malia.

Jeanettrius Moore ran to his house and banged on the door, begging for help, according to neighbor Craig Jackson.
