Earrious Moore, Carjacking, Illinois 2024
A series of violent crimes in Chicago left two people shot and multiple vehicles stolen in April 2018. Earrious Moore, 30, of Chicago, was at the center of the chaos.
On that single afternoon, Moore stole three cars, attempted to steal two others, and shot two people during a series of crimes in Chicago. The final attempted carjacking took place in the 1400 block of North DuSable Lake Shore Drive in the city's Gold Coast neighborhood. Moore shot a victim sitting in a Mercedes-Benz in the back of the shoulder, and the victim was subsequently treated at a hospital.
Moore ran from the vehicle and was apprehended by Chicago Police officers in the lobby of a nearby building. He pleaded guilty earlier this year to carjacking, attempted carjacking, and firearm charges.
U.S. District Judge Elaine E. Bucklo imposed the sentence on Friday during a hearing in federal court in Chicago. The sentence was announced by Morris Pasqual, Acting United States Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois, Christopher Amon, Special Agent in Charge of the Chicago Field Division of the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms & Explosives, and Larry Snelling, Superintendent of the Chicago Police Department.
'The violence and terror the defendant wrought on the victims of his carjacking spree will likely never be forgotten by his victims and those who witnessed these appalling events,' Assistant U.S. Attorney Alejandro G. Ortega argued in the government's sentencing memorandum.

Attempted carjacking
Firearm charges
