MORGANTOWN — The suspect wanted for firing a gun into the air on North High Street, liked a Facebook post of a photo identifying him as the suspect, according to court documents.
Shaiheed Jamuro Moore was arrested Thursday in Charleston by the U.S. Marshal’s Mountain State Fugitive Task Force, according to a WVU press release.
After the Oct. 7 shooting, WVU Police posted a photo of Moore and another man on its Facebook page, asking for help identifying them.
According to a criminal complaint, one of the people who liked that photo was Moore. Moore’s Facebook profile picture was updated Oct. 6 and showed him wearing the same clothing as the suspect in the police photo.
Other pictures on Moore’s Facebook page matched the suspect description, the complaint stated. WVU Police obtained a copy of Moore’s photo from the West Virginia Division of Motor Vehicles. That also matched the suspect in the photo.
The 21-year-old is charged with felony wanton endangerment and was arraigned in Kanawha County Magistrate Court, where bond was set at $10,000. As of Friday afternoon, Moore remained in South Central Regional Jail.
Moore is not a WVU student, the press release stated.
Video footage showed several men trying to enter through a side entrance of 672 North High St., but people inside were preventing them from doing so, the complaint said. The men left and two of them turned around in front of the Kappa Alpha Order house. The first of the two raised his left hand towards 672 North High St., and two burst of light that appear to be muzzle flashes are seen, according to the complaint.
Three Winchester 9mm rounds were found on the street, near the Kappa Alpha house, the complaint stated.
People ran and ducked after the shots were fired and the suspect ran down High Street.
