Damion Travis Moore

Damion Travis Moore Jr. was a young teenager known to family and classmates as a bright, laughing presence at Carroll High School in Monroe. Though public records about his life are limited, available accounts identify him as a freshman who spent time with friends and family and enjoyed ordinary teen moments that matter most to those who love him.

Friends and family recall the easy way Damion could make others laugh; a late-night phone call with his mother is remembered as cheerful and full of jokes. Those small, everyday connections — the companionship of friends, the comfort of family conversations, and the routines of school life — help sketch the human outline of a young person taken far too soon.

On May 22, 2025, Damion was wounded in a shooting near the intersection of Sherrouse Avenue and Church Street in Monroe. Local news reporting indicates he was taken to a hospital and later died from his injuries; public accounts tie the night of the shooting to May 22, 2025. In the weeks that followed, family, classmates, and members of the community gathered to mourn. A community notice listed funeral services scheduled for June 7, 2025.

Public reporting about Damion has focused understandably on the circumstances surrounding his death, but what remains most important for a remembrance is his life — the small, ordinary joys he shared with family and friends and the promise he carried as a young student. Though the public record is limited, Damion’s life mattered deeply to those who knew him, and the grief of his community reflects that loss.

This page honors Damion by centering the person he was: a son, a student, a friend, someone who laughed on the phone with his mother and who walked the halls of Carroll High. If you knew Damion and would like to contribute a photo, memory, or message to a family-authorized memorial, please follow family directions or contact local funeral providers who handled arrangements. For those seeking to help, consider reaching out to the family or local community groups offering support — small acts of care can matter greatly in the weeks and months after a loss.
