Moore was in his first year on the Missouri Southern football staff as the offensive line coach. He came to MSSU after three seasons at Western Illinois University in Macomb, Ill.
Police say a 39-year-old suspect was arrested shortly after the shooting and is being held at the Joplin City Jail on a 24-hour hold pending formal charges.
The university has canceled its Homecoming activities and issued a statement saying the school was ”stunned and deeply saddened” by Moore’s death.
