Baltimore Attempted Murder Suspect Found And Arrested In Virginia

BALTIMORE (WJZ) -- A 37-year-old man wanted in an attempted murder in Baltimore in October was arrested in King George County, Virginia, late last month.

Clarence Moore had been wanted in the attempted murder of a 38-year-old man.

Officers responded to a home in the 3900 block of Ridgecroft Road on October 19 at 1:45 a.m. where a 38-year-old man was shot. The man was treated at an area hospital.

Police identified Moore as the suspect. He eluded capture until he was apprehended in King George County, Virginia, about halfway between Richmond and Washington, D.C., on November 26.

Moore was extradited from Virginia to Baltimore and was taken to Central Booking on December 11.

He is charged with first-degree attempted murder, various firearms violations and is currently waiting to see a court commissioner.
