The shooting trial against 36-year-old Larry Moore continued on June 2 before Baltimore City Circuit Court Judge Alan C. Lazerow.
Moore is charged with attempted murder, assault, reckless endangerment and multiple gun offenses in connection to a shooting that occurred Sept. 5, 2025 on the 2300 block of E. Preston Street. Moore is accused of opening fire at the owner of Jay’s Grocery, wounding him.
On Tuesday, the prosecution summoned multiple witnesses.
According to the lead detective on the case, Moore had allegedly rented a white Ford F-150 between Sept. 5 and Sept. 7. Baltimore CitiWatch cameras allegedly captured the Ford F-150 at the scene of the crime. Investigators later obtained a subpoena for Moore’s rental records through the rental car application Turo.
The defense, Donald Wright, pointed out that anyone could have retrieved the vehicle the day of the rental, as the application only requires a code to do so. He also stated that the victim identified their shooter coming out of a white van, not a white truck.
The state also summoned multiple expert witnesses to detail records from the phone connected to truck rental. An FBI agent showed that the phone was tracked traveling from Baltimore to DC twice, which was consistent with the rental records.
The phone stopped near the scene of the crime around 1:30 p.m., which was when the shooting occurred. However, Wright claimed investigators cannot completely verify Moore was in possession of the phone that day.
When Moore was arrested, the phone in his possession had a different number from the one connected to the Ford F-150 rental. Neither detectives nor the FBI agent tracked the number from that phone during their investigation.
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.
A crime lab technician confirmed that a gun was found at the scene of the crime, along with 12 .40-caliber shell casings that matched the firearm.
In Wright’s questioning, the technician said she did not process any vehicles at the scene, and no fingerprints or DNA samples were recovered.
The trial is scheduled to continue the morning of June 3.
