Jury selection for 36-year-old Larry Dale Moore Jr. began on Nov. 10 before Baltimore City Circuit Court Judge Michael Anthony DiPietro. The defendant is accused of opening fire at the owner of a grocery store and wounding him in the process.
Moore is charged with attempted first-degree murder, first-degree assault, firearm use in a felony or violent crime, having a handgun on his person, having a handgun in a vehicle, reckless endangerment, firearm possession with a felony conviction and discharging a firearm. The shooting occurred on Sept. 5, 2025 at Jay’s Grocery located on the 2300 block of E. Preston Street.
This would be the defendant’s second trial with the first ending in a hung jury. A detective who was present at Moore’s arrest on Oct. 23, 2025 said the defendant was reportedly found in possession of a loaded firearm.
Moore was arrested early in the morning while heading from a gas station to his place of work. Arresting officers removed a black pouch from his person that was said to have a firearm with a light attachment, and containing multiple .40-caliber bullets.
Jury selection in the new case should be completed by the end of day.
