FARGO (KFGO) – An arrest has been made and the victim has been identified in connection with the shooting death of a teenage boy Monday night.
Marcus Brian Rexrode, 31, of Fargo is in the Cass County Jail, accused of murdering 16-year-old James Moore of West Fargo.
Court records say Rexrode was arrested early Thursday. He’s being held on charges including murder, firearm possessed by a felon, and delivery of a controlled substance.
Fargo Police were called to the 4400 block off of 9th Ave. S. after gunshots were heard late Monday night. Soon after, they found Moore’s body, and a handgun lying nearby. An initial police investigation into the shooting indicated multiple individuals were involved in a fight and fled the scene before officers arrived.
During a news conference Thursday, Chief Dave Zibolski said Rexrode and Moore were known to one another, but would not expand further.
Zibolski confirmed multiple shots were fired during the incident, and said more details would be released later.
