LaRose who also lives at the location in the lower flat attempted to intervene and rescue Moore but the suspect in a fit of rage then turned on LaRose.
Eyewitnesses relayed that in an effort to escape, LaRose ran into a nearby vacant lot, however the suspect chased after him. LaRose was found chopped about his body in the vacant lot.
