Police constable Allen Moseley who was killed in Morvant on Saturday morning.

Shocked and griev­ing col­leagues of mur­dered po­lice of­fi­cer PC Allen Mose­ley have vowed to “leave no stone un­turned” in seek­ing to bring his killer or killers to jus­tice.

Mose­ley was am­bushed and shot in the back of his head and chest while in his car along the Mor­vant Old Road ear­ly Sat­ur­day.

Homi­cide de­tec­tives were still try­ing to piece to­geth­er the cir­cum­stances sur­round­ing his mur­der last night but said they had re­ceived crit­i­cal in­for­ma­tion which sug­gests that a woman whom he of­ten vis­it­ed in the area may hold key in­for­ma­tion to the case.

A po­lice re­port stat­ed that Mose­ley was shot short­ly af­ter 5 am. His body was lat­er found at the side of the road while his ve­hi­cle was found a short dis­tance away. It is be­lieved Mose­ley was shot while in his car and that he may have at­tempt­ed to come out and run for help but even­tu­al­ly col­lapsed at the side of the road where he died.

Po­lice said it was on­ly on Fri­day night that Mose­ley had grad­u­at­ed from train­ing at the Guard and Emer­gency Branch. He was pre­vi­ous­ly at­tached to the Spe­cial In­tel­li­gence Unit.

In ex­tend­ing con­do­lences to the be­reaved fam­i­ly and col­leagues, Com­mis­sion­er of Po­lice Gary Grif­fith yes­ter­day promised that Mose­ley’s killers that “we will use all our re­sources to find you.”

Grif­fith said in­ves­ti­ga­tors were al­ready pur­su­ing cer­tain leads and added that he is sure that, “there is some­one out there who saw some­thing.” He urged mem­bers of the pub­lic to use the Po­lice App or What­sApp 482-GARY “with in­for­ma­tion, pho­tographs or videos.”

One of Mose­ley’s col­leagues, who wished not to be iden­ti­fied, was in­con­solable and would on­ly de­scribe him as a “pleas­ant per­son.”

“He was young and up­com­ing in the ser­vice and had so much ahead of him in terms of mak­ing that good out­stand­ing of­fi­cer and he re­cent­ly fin­ished train­ing in Guard and Emer­gency Branch and came out one of the ex­em­plar of­fi­cers who grad­u­at­ed. May his soul rest in peace and may the TTPS not sleep un­til his killers are brought to jus­tice.”

Mem­bers of Mose­ley’s fam­i­ly re­mained in shock over his killing and would on­ly say that they were pray­ing and hop­ing that who­ev­er was be­hind his killing would be brought to jus­tice very soon.

“God don’t sleep and they took away a very am­bi­tious and as­pir­ing young man from us who was dear­ly loved and adored by all. Jus­tice will be served be­cause God sees and knows,” a fam­i­ly mem­ber, who wished not to be iden­ti­fied said.
