Per MCPD: Parents of a 17-year-old girl have been charged with neglect and homicide after their daughter died in their care. On Tuesday, May 10, 2022, officers from the Montgomery County Department of Police – 6th District station, responded to the 9400 block of Quill Place in Montgomery Village for a working code in progress.
Upon arrival, officers spoke with the parents, 40-year-old Cynthia Moore and her husband, 45-year-old Dominique Moore. The mother stated that their daughter had Multiple Sclerosis and diabetes, and recently been diagnosed with COVID. Cynthia Moore reported that the victim was having trouble breathing and collapsed. She also said that the victim had not seen a doctor in two years.
Montgomery County Fire Rescue responded and the victim was pronounced dead at the location. The family had reportedly been living in squalor. Because of the unsanitary living conditions, six minor children, ranging between the ages of 15 and 5-years-old, were removed from the home and placed in the care of Child Protective Services. Two children over the age of 18 also lived in the home.
The body of the 17-year-old was transported to the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in Baltimore, where an autopsy was conducted, and manner of death determined to be a homicide. Dominique and Cynthia Moore have both been charged with one count of second-degree murder and six counts of neglect of a minor. Both were arrested on Wednesday, May 3, 2023.
