She had also hidden her son’s Taser, the affidavit said. When he went looking for it, he found the .22-caliber semi- automatic handgun that his father had hidden under a bed. And when he confronted them with it, Deborah Moore and her mother ran outside and called police, but Raymond stayed, apparently trying to calm his son. “As they were exiting the residence, Deborah hears shots,” the arrest affidavit said. A deputy arrived at the scene, heard more shots and took the two women to a safe location while he waited for backup. During a two-hour standoff, a deputy was able to speak by phone to Raymond Moore, but his breathing was labored. Worried that he was dying, they broke into the residence and when Ronald Moore pointed a gun at them, one of the officers shot him. Ronald Moore “turned to his father lying on the floor and said, ‘I’m sorry dad,’” the affidavit said. When officers got to him, Raymond Moore was dead. Ronald Moore was taken to Sacred Heart Medical Center in Spokane, and then incarcerated at Airway Heights Corrections Center in Spokane. When he was arrested at Sacred Heart, Moore told the officer that he lived with his mother and father, but could not remember their names. “Moore appeared to be confused and could not believe that he had gotten drunk and murdered his father,” the officer’s state- ment said. He also wrote that Moore broke down several times while he read him the arrest warrant. He asked the hospital to put him on a suicide watch. Moore’s public defender Melissa MacDougall said Dr. Mark McClung, a medical doctor and clinical instructor at the University of Washing- ton’s Department of Psychia- try, evaluated Moore and helped craft the plea deal. “My client suffered for years and the mental health system failed him and his family,” she wrote in an email. “Our hope is that out of this tragedy, change in our current system will come.” The prosecutor said Moore expressed a desire to plead guilty early in the case, and may have agreed to plead guilty to first-degree murder, which was initially charged. Sloan said there was evidence of premeditation, but he agreed to reduce the charge after taking his mental illness into account. Moore’s issues, he said, didn’t rise to the level of insanity or incompetency to stand trial. “But there’s no denying there was a history of mental illness, and issues surrounding that.” Moore also pleaded guilty to theft of a firearm, two counts of second- degree assault and unlawful possession of a firearm. His only criminal history was fourth-degree assault, domestic violence, in December 2012. K.C. Mehaffey: 997-2512 [email protected] Murder From Page A1 BY K.C.
