MURPHYSBORO — Jackson County State’s Attorney Joseph A. Cervantez announced today that Zoremoreyon J.D. Moore, age 18, of Marion, Illinois, has been charged with Attempted First-Degree Murder, two counts of Aggravated Battery with a Firearm, all Class X felonies as a result of a shooting that took place in Carbondale, Illinois, on March 20, 2022. He is also charged with two counts of Aggravated Discharge of a Firearm, both Class 1 felonies, and one count of Aggravated Unlawful Use of a Weapon, a Class 4 felony.

State’s Attorney Cervantez explained that the Carbondale Police were able to use a combination of city cameras and business owned cameras to quickly investigate the shooting and bring the suspects into custody. Cervantez said that “video evidence from city cameras has been instrumental for his office to prosecute violent offenses.”

Moore is being held in the Jackson County Jail with a bond set at $1 million. A preliminary hearing is scheduled on April 12, 2022.

State’s Attorney Cervantez emphasizes that “charges are not evidence of guilt, and that a defendant is presumed innocent and is entitled to a fair trial at which his office has the burden of proving guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.”

The survivor was able to make his way back toward the front of Hanger 9 where emergency help was called. The Carbondale Police Department conducted the investigation, and the Murphysboro Police Department located and apprehended Jackson where he was transported to the Jackson County Jail on November 5, 2021.

A sentencing hearing was held on December 15, 2023, where arguments were made by Jackson County Assistant State’s Attorney Sophia M. Allen, as to sentencing recommendations. The court ultimately sentenced Jackson to a total of 17 years in the Illinois Department of Corrections. The investigation was led by the Carbondale Police Department and assisted by the Murphysboro Police Department and the Illinois State Police.
