Suspect sought in shooting near Abernathy Ball Field

About 12:45 p.m. Saturday, officers responded to a report of shots fired in the area of Deaton Street and Abernathy Ball Field.

Arriving officers located Moore in a nearby front yard suffering from multiple gunshot wounds to the abdomen and legs, police said. Officers rendered aid and requested assistance from Iredell County EMS and Iredell Rescue Squad.

Moore was transported to Iredell Memorial Hospital, where he later succumbed to his injuries, police said.
