According to the Pima County Attorney's office, Moore stabbed his live-in girlfriend, Kathleen Deluche, 55 times with a long sword after she locked him out of their apartment. He snuck in and chased her throughout the house with the sword as she tried to escape.

Her 3-year-old son was there at the time and was left alone with the body for eight hours. He told a neighbor that Moore was the killer.
