Roger Lemontre Moore, a 40-year-old black man, died Sunday, July 7, one day after he was wounded in the 6000 block of 2nd Avenue in Hyde Park, according to L.A. County coroner’s records.

Moore had parked outside his home about 11:45 p.m. and left his car when a gunman walked up and shot him, LAPD Det. Sal LaBarbera said.

Anyone with information about the incident is asked to call LAPD’s criminal gang homicide division at (213) 485-4341. Those who wish to remain anonymous can call Crime Stoppers at (800) 222-8477.

Roger Moore was the kind of supervisor at LAUSD that anyone would welcome and enjoy working with. Roger would not just give instruction but was right there working along side with you. In my short friendship he was and became a brother beloved, and I will miss him greatly. There where many of subject matters and conversations. Iwill most of all miss his humble spirit. He was a man of Godly character and integrity. He had a right relationship with God so I know he's alright. We talked sometimes about our faith in Jesus Christ and that kept us both grounded. He always showed himself to be friendly and kind. To Mr. & Mrs. Moore thank you for raising a man that helped to shape and change the world. I join you now during this time of sorrow and saddness. My prayers will always be that the God of all comfort will stregnthen your hearts and your minds and you meetyou at the point of every need. Humbly Submitted, Reverend Fontane Christian & Family.
