On June 1, 2025, Lake County Forest Preserve Police responded to a report of shots fired. Preliminary investigation revealed that Moy got into an altercation with the victim. The incident was captured on video by the victim’s mother. The argument continued in the parking lot, where the defendant eventually pulled out a gun and shot the victim. 

At the detention hearing, prosecutors argued that despite the defendant’s lack of criminal history and valid FOID and CCL, his actions show he is a threat to the community. They said he escalated a minor altercation into an unjustified shooting of an unarmed victim in a public place. 

The court granted the State’s Petition to Detain. Moy’s next court hearing is scheduled for June 6, at 9:00 a.m. for a status of preliminary hearing.  

After the detention hearing, Lake County State’s Attorney Eric Rinehart stated, “Our thoughts are with the victim and his family. We are satisfied that this offender has been detained without the ability to use cash. This case shows that even minor arguments can turn potentially lethal when firearms are easily accessible. Our office will continue all efforts to keep firearms out of the hands of dangerous people through our Violent Crimes Unit, Gun Violence Prevention Initiative, and other programs.”
