Moss was found shot to death on his front porch in the 3200 block of Clear Springs Drive in the Windmill Farms neighborhood on November 28, 2015. Police say Moss suffered a single gunshot wound to the back of the head.

On August 29, 2016, after an announcement hearing before Kaufman County’s 86th District Court Judge Casey Blair, Young pled guilty to the offense of capital murder and is awaiting a sentencing hearing for which a date has not yet been set.
