He stayed there as the gunmen shot and killed Moore.

The gunmen then spent about 90 minutes ransacking their home.

They were caught on surveillance cameras stealing a television and fleeing in Moore’s car. 

‘They took a lot of time in the home,’ Stone Mountain Police Sgt. Manuel Norrington said. ‘They stayed there for some time, which is not normal.’

Moore had only installed the surveillance cameras two weeks ago after an earlier break in attempt. 

Police are now using the footage to track down his killers.  

Moore and his husband had only been married two months.
