The man accused of killing three adults and a 7-year-old girl in Indianapolis on Saturday night told police he began shooting everyone inside a home after an argument over a stimulus check, court records show.

Malik Halfacre, 25, was taken into custody a day after police say he shot and killed Anthony Johnson, 35; Dequan Moore, 23; Eve Moore, 7; and Tomeeka Brown, 44.

A survivor of the shooting – who family said shared a daughter with Halfacre – was shot in the back during the incident and directed police to the residence Saturday night.

Halfacre said in an interview with police that he and his daughter's mother "were arguing because he wanted some of her stimulus check," according to a probable cause affidavit.

He told investigators that, after he shot everyone inside the home, he took the money and his daughter's mother's purse and car before leaving.

The Indianapolis Metropolitan Police deputy chief of investigations, Craig McCartt, on Monday announced Halfacre had been preliminarily charged with four counts of murder, one count of attempted murder and one count of robbery.

The discovery of the victims was followed by the search for a 6-month-old girl, who is the child of Malik Halfacre and the surviving victim and was reported missing from the home, according to police.

The baby was found safe Sunday morning after Malik Halfacre's sister called police to report she had the missing child, records show. The sister told police her brother "had knocked on the door, came inside and dropped off the baby and all the baby’s stuff before leaving."

She also told investigators "that Mr. Halfacre admitted to killing four people and told her details about how it happened," the affidavit says.

Police learned Sunday afternoon that Halfacre sought a friend's help and was hiding at a home.

After hours of trying to persuade him to exit the home – efforts that included the use of tear gas – a police SWAT team entered and found Halfacre hiding in the attic, where he was taken into custody without incident.

All probably because this selfish sack of shit wanted to get high...

He needs to die

That is an old looking 25 year old fucktard.

See, moron, that's the downside of having some ho support your lazy ass. You don't get no stimulus check! That was no one's fault but your own.

@Satanica

Why she gotta be a ho?

 

[Satanica]

Because that's how he thought of her and all women who could be "useful" to his sorry ass. If you're supporting a thug, you're a ho.

I'd like to see his employment history to see what kind of hard working, strong moral ethics he possess.

A mass murderer who took the lives of four people, including a young child, all because he wanted the mother of his child’s stimulus check will serve the rest of his life behind bars after being handed down a 145-year prison sentence.

Malik Halfacre, 28, pleaded guilty last month to four counts of murder and one count of attempted murder after he opened fire on the mother of his child, Jeanettrius Moore, and her family while rooting through her purse for her stimulus check.

“He said, ‘I’m gonna get that money,'” a family member recounted.

Halfacre would end up turning his gun on Moore, her 23-year-old brother Daquan Moore, her 44-year-old mother Tomeeka Brown, her 35-year-old Cousin Anthony Johnson and her 7-year-old daughter Eve Moore.

Jeanettrius Moore would survive the shooting, but the rest of her family was killed by Halfacre in cold blood — including young Eve.
