Man Murders Pastor, 7 Year Old Girl, and Four Others in Mississippi Killing Spree

Daricka Moore Pleads Not Guilty to Shooting Six Family Members Execution Style

Daricka M. Moore, 24, pleaded not guilty this week to eleven charges linked to a murder spree in Clay County, Mississippi, that left six people dead, including a pastor, a seven year old girl, and four members of his own family. Prosecutors said they will pursue the death penalty if Moore is found mentally competent.

Investigators believe Moore fatally shot his father Glenn Moore, 67, his brother Quinten Moore, 33, and his uncle Willie Ed Guines, 55, last Friday at the family's residence on David Hill Road. All three men sustained gunshot wounds to the head. Moore then allegedly stole a Ford F-150 truck belonging to his brother and drove to a second residence on Blake Road.

Killer Executes Seven Year Old Cousin After Attempted Sexual Assault

At the Blake Road residence, authorities say Moore forced entry, attempted to commit sexual battery, and fatally shot seven year old Mikiylia Guines, his cousin, with a gunshot wound to the head. Witnesses told authorities Moore also pointed a gun at a younger child, though the second child was not injured.

After leaving the Blake Road home, Moore allegedly drove to a third location on Siloam Griffith Road.

Officers found the stolen truck hidden behind the house and discovered two more victims inside, both dead from gunshot wounds to the head. The victims were identified as Rev. Barry Bradley and Samuel Bradley of Columbus.

Authorities said the two brothers had been staying near the Apostolic Church of The Lord Jesus in Cedarbluff, where some members of Moore's family attended.

Moore was apprehended around 11:30 p.m. Friday near Pine Grove Road while driving a vehicle taken from the Siloam Griffith residence. He was in possession of both a rifle and a handgun. No motive has been established. Officials said Moore had no prior criminal record or known mental health history.

THE CRUSADER'S OPINION

Evil.

The kind that executes children and pastors without hesitation.

Mississippi should pursue the death penalty without question.

Some crimes are so depraved they demand ultimate justice.

This community lost a pastor, a child, and four others to demonic violence.

No explanation makes this comprehensible.

Only judgment in this life and the next makes it answerable.
