Court papers: Suspect texted about killing dad, sent photos

DURHAM, N.C. – Authorities say a North Carolina man accused of killing his father sent text messages about it to his co-workers and sent photos of a man lying face down in blood.

The Durham County Sheriff’s Office told news outlets 33-year-old that Chivalry Alexander Moore of Kinston was shot by a sheriff’s deputy during a standoff at a Durham home last Tuesday.

Moore was arrested and charged with murder after he was released from the hospital. He’s being held without bond.

According to warrants, Moore sent a photo of what appears to be a decomposing body with multiple sharp force injuries.

The body of 60-year-old Willie Moore was found at the end of a five-hour standoff. Deputies had been called to the home for a welfare check.
