A madman killed six people — including a 7-year-old girl — in the biggest mass shooting to rock Mississippi in almost a decade, police said Saturday.

Daricka Moore, 24, allegedly gunned down numerous family members and a pastor across three locations near West Point after his plans to sexually assault one of the victims were thwarted, authorities said.

“It’s just overwhelmed (sic) grief. It’s hard to describe … First trying to grieve the loss of their loved one and then finding out who [did it],” Clay County Sheriff Eddie Scott said at a news conference.

“This has really shaken our community,” Scott added. “In almost 30 years, this is one of the toughest (cases) I’ve ever had to work.”

The violence erupted Friday just before 7 p.m. when Moore allegedly killed his father, Glenn Moore, 67; his uncle, Willie Guines, 55; and his brother, Quinten Moore, 33, in Cedarbluff, which is west of the county seat of West Point, 150 miles northwest of Jackson.

Investigators said Moore stole his brother’s truck after the killings and fled the scene, triggering a countywide manhunt as deputies responded to multiple locations.

He raced to a second home on Blake Road, where he tried to sexually assault another victim at gunpoint, police said.

Instead, Moore allegedly killed a 7-year-old girl. He is also accused of pointing the firearm at another child under the age of 7, but did not pull the trigger.

Investigators are still determining whether the gun misfired or whether Moore chose not to fire, Scott said.

A third young child and an adult were also inside the home at the time of the shooting.

“Even with the tragedy, it’s a blessing that he didn’t do more damage than what he did,” Scott said.

Moore then sped to another location, where he gunned down two brothers on Siloam-Griffith Road —Barry Bradley and Samuel Bradley. One of the men was a pastor at a local church, police said.

Authorities later found the stolen truck hidden behind a home on Griffin Road. 

Deputies forced entry into the residence and discovered the two men dead from apparent gunshot wounds.

Investigators are now working four separate crime scenes, a process Scott said took all night and stretched into Saturday morning.

Moore was finally captured at 3 a.m. and charged with first-degree murder.

He was taken into custody without incident near Pine Grove Road with the help of state and federal agencies, including the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation and U.S. Marshals, authorities said.

Cops said the crime could be upgraded to capital murder and that he may also face additional murder charges.

District Attorney Scott Colom said the case will be reviewed for the death penalty, calling it “about as bad as it gets.”

Officials would not say whether the victim Moore was allegedly trying to sexually assault was the little girl.

“I don’t know what kind of motive you could have to kill a 7-year-old,” Scott said.

Moore had no prior history with police and wasn’t on their radar — with family members telling cops they “would never believe he was capable of this violence.” 

“This guy has not been on our radar,” Scott said.

“We had not had any calls, reports, anything prior leading up to this.”

Moore is believed to have acted alone and no other suspects are being sought, investigators said. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for Monday.

The mass shooting is the largest in the state since Willie Cory Godbolt killed eight people in 2017.
