Kings County District Attorney Charles J. Hynes today announced the indictment of off-duty New York City Correction Officer Dale Moore for shooting Kai Gates on January 8, 2013 in East Flatbush.

Moore, 32, is charged with one count of Assault in the First Degree and one count of Assault in the Second Degree. If convicted, he faces up to 25 years in prison.

The indictment alleges that on January 8, 2013 at 1:10 pm in front of 2909 Clarendon Road, Moore was driving his car with passenger Shalonda Smith, a captain in the Correction Department. The car was cut-off by a vehicle driven by Kai Gates and resulted in a minor car accident. After the defendant and the victim exited their cars, Moore shot Kai in the chest and in the jaw. Mr. Gates and Captain Smith have a child in common.
