Moore County Shooting Incident
On May 3, 2024, a shooting incident occurred in Carthage, Moore County, North Carolina, resulting in the death of Ramzan Daraev. Daraev was shot multiple times by a Special Operations soldier after an altercation ensued when Daraev was allegedly trespassing and taking pictures of the soldier's residence. Initially reported as an employee of a utility company, Daraev was found without any identification or equipment suggesting official work at the time of the incident. His background raised suspicions as he was originally from Chechnya and had foreign identity documents with him (Sandhills Sentinel, 2024; S2 Underground, 2024).
Connection to Previous Events
This incident in Moore County echoes the December 2022 attacks on power substations in the same area, which left 45,000 residents without power and resulted in a fatality due to power loss. The ongoing investigation into the substation attacks has highlighted potential connections to foreign actors, as evidenced by Daraev's background and behavior (Yahoo News, 2024; WSOC TV, 2023).
