Man murders three adults and one child after his girlfriend wouldn’t give him her stimulus check
Malik Halfacre, 25, has been accused of shooting and killing four people after his girlfriend would not give hm her stimulus check. The four victims were found shot dead in their Indianapolis, Indiana, home following the shootings which occurred on March 13.
Gunned down by Halfacre following an argument over the stimulus money were three adults and one child, ages 44, 35, 23, and seven. A fifth shooting victim, Halfacre’s girlfriend, survived the onslaught of bullets.
The girlfriend, who was shot and hospitalized in critical condition, alleged that Halfacre took the couple’s 6-month-old daughter with him when he left the scene, the affidavit said. Police said Tuesday the girlfriend was stable.

The argument over the stimulus money began the day before the shootings. Halfacre told his girlfriend, Jeanettrius Moore, that he wanted half of her $1,400 stimulus check. Halfacre was the father of Moore’s youngest of two daughters.
According to Moore’s family members, the argument went like this:
She had just got her money, and he wanted half of her money.
“She said, ‘No, you don’t deserve any of this. I work. I take care of our child. You don’t do anything.’
“He said, ‘I really want half.’
“She said, ‘I’ll give you 450. Take it or leave it.’
“He said, ‘I’m gonna get that money.’

Halfacre’s sister told police in Indianapolis that he admitted to killing four people and described to her how the murders all went down. The alleged murderer was found Sunday hiding in the attic of a friend’s Indianapolis home and was taken into custody.
The dead have been identified as Jeanettrius Moore’s seven-year-old daughter, Eve Moore, her brother, 23-year-old Daquan Moore, her mother, 44-year-old Tomeeka Brown, and her cousin, 35-year-old Anthony Johnson.
Following his arrest, Halfacre was charged with murder, attempted murder and robbery. He is scheduled to be in court on March 18 to face those charges.
