Murder In Willowick: Suspect Still Unidentified

WILLOWICK, OH — The public is being asked to help identify and catch a murder suspect.

On April 13, Derrick Durden-Moore, 26, was shot to death while inside the Willowick Café. He was killed by a person that came through the back door of the restaurant and then shot Durden-Moore "multiple times," the FBI said.

It initially appeared as if the shooter targeted Durden-Moore. There were reportedly other patrons inside the Willowick Café at the time of the shooting, and the 26-year-old had not been involved in any arguments or fights prior to his murder, the News Herald reported at the time. No one else was shot during the attack.

The suspect escaped through the back door of the restaurant. Police have been unable to identify the shooter.

The FBI released an image of a masked suspect to the public on Thursday. It is not clear what race or gender the shooter is.

Anyone with information on the suspect, or with information on the murder of Durden-Moore, should contact the Cleveland Division of the FBI at 216-522-1400 or the Willowick Police Department at 440-585-1234.

There is a reward of up to $5,000 for information that leads to the successful identification and prosecution of the suspect. Tips can remain anonymous, the FBI said.
