In 1997 I worked across the street from a bank where a Garland police officer was killed. Seems the the teller had seen this suspect before and alerted the police before he started to rob the place. I went to Michael "Mad Dog" Moore memorial service that night. This incident has left me with some emptiness.

My question is: How can I found out what has happened to the suspect? On the officer down page the only thing it says is he has been sentenced to death. Most people probably call me crazy, but I want to know his name. To me knowing his name and the day he is put to death would make it a little easier. I did not know the officer, but I have police officers in my family. Is there anyway i can find out this information???

was it feb 15 1997 if so it was officer Moorhttp:/Michael David Moore (Officer)

As Officer Moore attempted to escort the suspect from the bank, the suspect produced a weapon and a struggle between the two ensued. During the struggle Officer Moore was fatally shot. The suspect is now awaiting execution on Texas death row.

Officer Moore will be missed by his family and friends.

Summary of incident
On February 15, 1997, Mosley murdered a white male police officer while attempting to rob a bank in Garland. Employees called police after noticing Mosley inside the bank acting suspicious. As one of the first officers to arrive at the scene, the victim entered the bank in full uniform and approached Mosley, noticing that the would-be bandit had his hand stuck in his waistband. When the officer told Mosley to show him his hands, a struggle ensued and the two crashed through a glass window. Witnesses heard several shots fired before Mosley re-entered the bank through the broken window and was shot in the wrist after flashing his pistol at a second police officer. The victim died the afternoon of the shooting. He suffered at least four bullet wounds to the torso.

GAULT1231, Like you, I always want to know more... As a LEO I've become quit nosy and always want to know more about situations. In this situation, what I've done in the past, is look at the states offender website. I have located many offender's and their charges, porole dates, and what facility they are being held at, among other things. You can also get the docket number and go into the court minutes to find out if they are going through appeals and so forth. Just a suggestion. I usually use this for our sex offenders in our area, who have been released. I want to know everything about them for the safety of the citizens.

Thank you , Texas....rest in peace, Officer Moore
