Carjacker Sentenced to 97 Months Imprisonment

A 23-year-old New Orleans man was sentenced to 97 months imprisonment for carjacking and firearms charges, U.S. Attorney Duane A. Evans announced today. Donté Moore was sentenced by U.S. District Court Judge Susie Morgan on September 21, 2021.

On May 18, 2021, Moore pled guilty to a Superseding Bill of Information charging him with carjacking, a violation of 18 U.S.C. § 2119(1), and using and carrying a firearm in furtherance of a crime of violence, a violation of 18 U.S.C. § 924(c)(1)(A)(i).

According to court documents, Judge Morgan sentenced Moore to 37 months imprisonment for carjacking and to 60 months imprisonment for using and carrying a firearm in furtherance of a crime of violence. The sentence for the firearms charge must run consecutively to the carjacking charge.

In addition to the prison sentence, Moore also received 3 years supervised release for the carjacking charge and 5 years supervised release for the firearms charge, which will run concurrently. Supervised release commences after Moore is released from custody.

Moore must also pay $200 in mandatory special assessment fees. Restitution will be determined by the Court at a later date.

The case was prosecuted as part of the Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN) Program, a joint federal, state, and local effort to reduce violent crime. The program focuses enforcement efforts on the most violent offenders and partners with locally based prevention and reentry programs for lasting reductions in crime.

The case was investigated by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, the Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office, and the New Orleans Police Department. It was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Liz Privitera of the Violent Crime Unit.
