New details surrounding the March 22 rolling shooting in Kansas City reveal the victim was a mother of four riding in an Uber.
Terah Moore called an Uber to take her to a store a little over a mile away from her house that Sunday evening when she noticed a burgundy Jeep pulling out of her apartment complex at the same time.
She didn’t think anything of it at first.
“Soon it became clear that the car was intentionally following us,” Moore explains in a statement on her GoFundMe page.
She tried to help her Uber driver escape from the attacker by directing her through side streets. They even crossed a railroad track with an approaching train, Moore told KCTV 5.
“That’s when I knew that our life was in danger,” she said. “Like, no, these people want to harm us or something.”
The aggressor eventually opened fire on the Uber and Moore was shot five times before the car crashed, rolling and erupting in fire while the chaser fled the scene.
“I am now in the hospital, fighting for my life, with air in my lungs and still recovering from my injuries,” she said.
“I’m blessed. I understand that I’m blessed. I can still see my kids, be around my kids. They can still see me. I can still see my daughter be that WNBA player that she’s gonna be. Everything’s gonna work its way out.”
Moore moved to her current apartment less than a month before the incident, hoping to build a safe home for her children. She says they don’t feel safe and she’s searching for a safer place to call home.
“We have nowhere else to go, and I’m desperate to find a safer place for us to live.”
The GoFundMe page is helping raise money for Moore to find a new home and provide for her kids while she recovers. She says she doesn’t know who the stalker was, but hopes they’re found soon.
“I have no issues. I’m a grown woman. I’m really just trying to take care of my kids every day,” she writes, asking for any information about the suspect vehicle “because me and my kids don’t feel safe.”
Police are looking for the burgundy 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee with Kansas license plate 9103ACY. Anyone with information about the vehicle or camera footage of the incident can contact police or use the TIPS Hotline at 816-474-TIPS.
