Domestic dispute leaves woman shot in LaGrange
LaGrange police are investigating a domestic dispute which turned into a shooting early Wednesday morning.
Police were called to a house in the 600 block of Miami Street, around 8:27 A.M. on May 3, 2023, where they found a woman suffering from a single gunshot wound to her buttocks and leg. Aid was rendered at the scene by emergency staff, and the victim was transported to Columbus Medical Center, Columbus, Georgia.
The investigation determined that Jeffery Paul Moore, the boyfriend of the injured woman, shot her during a verbal domestic dispute. “Ballistic evidence at the scene determined that the two gunshots were fired directly towards the bedrooms where a 15 year old male and a three year old female were sleeping at the time of the incident,” police said.
A criminal history check determined that Jeffery Paul Moore was a convicted felon at the time of the incident. Moore was taken into custody without incident.
Moore was charged with Aggravated Assault (FVA); Aggravated Assault x2; Possession of a Firearm by a Convicted Felon; and Possession of a Firearm During the Commission of Certain Crimes.
