Quateze Moore, Murder, Washington D.C. 2024

ANCHORAGE, ALASKA – In a gruesome case that shook a Northwest Anchorage park, Quateze Moore, 46, of Washington, D.C., was sentenced to a total 23 years in prison for his role in the shooting and killing of Martinez Robinson on August 23, 2024, and possession with intent to distribute while armed on January 1, 2025.

According to U.S. Attorney Jeanine Ferris Pirro, Moore’s actions were not only a senseless act of violence, but also a brazen display of disregard for the law. ‘This defendant’s actions were a callous disregard for human life and a threat to public safety,’ Pirro stated. ‘The sentence handed down today reflects the severity of these crimes.’

The gruesome discovery of Martinez Robinson’s body in the Northwest Park sent shockwaves through the small community, leaving many to wonder what had led to such a tragic event. Authorities were quick to respond, launching an investigation that would ultimately lead to Moore’s arrest and conviction.

Moore’s 23-year sentence is a harsh reality check for those who think they can commit crimes without consequence. ‘Today’s sentence serves as a reminder that we will pursue justice, no matter how long it takes,’ Pirro emphasized.

As the community begins to heal from the trauma caused by this senseless act of violence, Alaskans are left to wonder what could have been done to prevent such a tragedy. While the exact circumstances surrounding the crime remain unclear, one thing is certain: justice has been served, and Moore will spend the next 23 years behind bars.

With this sentence, the Anchorage community can take a small measure of comfort in knowing that those responsible for such heinous crimes will be held accountable. As the case continues to unfold, one thing is clear: the consequences of violence will be felt for years to come.

U.S. Attorney Jeanine Ferris Pirro commended the hard work and dedication of law enforcement officials who worked tirelessly to bring Moore to justice. ‘Their unwavering commitment to justice is a testament to the values that our community holds dear,’ Pirro said.
