The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports that Shirley had just ended his shift at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium when Moore approached him. As the two began walking together, Shirley handed Moore $8 for sex. When she told him it wasn’t enough, authorities say Shirley threw her against a wall, kicked and beat her, then shot her with a 22-caliber revolver.
A few months before her death, Moore moved from New York to Atlanta, according to 11Alive News. The brutal murder was captured on a surveillance video.

Felix Shirley was convicted by the jury of murder, felony murder, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony.
He was sentenced to life in prison, plus five years.
