“I appreciate the police department for taking the case so seriously, and I know my son appreciates it too,” she tells TMZ. “I don’t think I will feel any relief until he is arrested. As of now it’s just words on paper there hasn’t been any real consequence.”
The man who shot the video, Michael Curry, agrees that Moore must be taken off these streets because “anyone who’s willing to hit a kid like that, there’s no telling what they’re going to do next.”
When cops do find him, Moore’s bail has been set at $50k cash only.
In the meantime, the Cape Girardeau Police Department released Moore’s 2017 mug shot in hopes the public can help locate him.
The cops also noted that the public’s “understandably expressed a desire to see Moore charged with a hate crime” but “this charge would only apply if the assault was categorized to a lesser degree, which would not be in the best interest of seeking true justice for the victim.”
