Suspect charged after ‘ongoing beef’ leads to Selma’s first homicide of 2025
A suspect has been charged in the weekend shooting death of a 43-year-old man in Selma, the city’s first homicide of 2025.
Jadarius Moore, 31, is charged with murder in the killing of David Lewis.
The deadly shooting happened Saturday evening in the area of Minter Avenue and Keller Avenue.
Witnesses told police that Moore retrieved a gun from a vehicle while Lewis was in a shed.
When Lewis exited the shed, according to court documents, Moore fired a shot, and everybody started running. He then fired a second shot, and that is when Lewis collapsed.
Lewis was taken to Vaughan Regional Medical Center where he was pronounced dead at 6:46 p.m.
Witnesses told investigators that the shooting stemmed from an ongoing “beef” between two communities.
“This unfortunate incident is Selma’s first murder (of 2025) and I hope our last,’’ said Selma Mayor James Perkins Jr. “I offer my sincere condolences to the family and friends during this time of loss.”
Anyone with additional information is asked to Selma detectives at 334-876-1273.
