MALIK DAJOUR MOORE CONVICTED FOR CRIME

ON RIDGE ROAD AFTER TRIAL BY JURY

On September 30, 2015, a Wicomico County Jury convicted Malik Dajour Moore, age 19, of Salisbury, Maryland, of multiple crimes, including: First Degree Burglary, Armed Robbery (two (2) counts), False Imprisonment (two (2) counts), Conspiracy-First Degree Burglary, Conspiracy-Armed Robbery (two (2) counts), Theft $1000-$10,000 (two (2) counts), and Theft under $1,000. The Court has ordered a pre-sentence investigation in the case and sentencing will be scheduled on a later date.

In the early morning hours of April 23, 2015, the Defendant and his accomplices, Darrell Dixon (age 19), and Nahmir Tareek Bundy (age 16), were in the area of Virginia Avenue on bicycles. There they came across a .22 caliber rifle that was stored in an unlocked truck toolbox. The men stole the .22 caliber rifle and later found themselves checking cars for valuables on Ridge Road. While in the driveway of one of the residences, the Defendants observed some X-Box video games that were visible through the home’s windows. The men, armed with the .22 caliber rifle, made entry into the home through a side window. Once inside, the men immediately began stuffing backpacks full of items from the house. Two of the home’s occupants were accosted in their beds at gunpoint by one of the co-defendants. One of the victims was then held by Nahmir Bundy at gunpoint on a living room sofa while the other men continued to fill three backpacks full of the victims’ property.

The Salisbury Police Department had at least two score officers working the case and they followed leads throughout the morning. By sunrise on April 23rd, SPD investigatory leads led to search warrants being executed on 214 Delaware Avenue. Once officers made entry into the home, Nahmir Bundy was found in the home’s basement in possession of several of the items stolen from the residents. Dixon and Moore were observed outside of the residence by police just before they made entry into the house. Further investigation, revealed the extent of Bundy’s, Moore’s and Dixon’s involvement in this crime.

Darrell Lamont Dixon pleaded guilty to Conspiracy-Home Invasion, First Degree Assault and Firearm Use During a Crime of Violence on September 1, 2015. Nahmir Tereek Bundy pleaded guilty to Burglary 1st Degree, Armed Robbery (2 counts), and Use of a Firearm in the Commission of a Crime of Violence on September 3, 2015. Bundy is scheduled to be sentenced on October, 15, 2015. Dixon is scheduled to be sentenced on November 2, 2015. Bundy, age 16, will be sentenced as an adult.

This case was prosecuted by Wicomico County State’s Attorney, Matthew A. Maciarello. Mr. Maciarello commends the brave victims in this case who participated in the Salisbury Police Department investigation and Defendant’s trial. Maciarello further commends the men and women of the Salisbury City Police Department (including Lead Detective, A.J. Foy) who worked diligently to ensure that the offenders were brought to justice in this case.
