After Moore was taken into custody, officers discovered the bodies of his girlfriend and another woman in an apartment. The women’s names have not been released.
Moore’s lawyer, Kenneth Botary, tells the Corpus Christi Caller-Times it appears Moore and his girlfriend had an argument and “it got out of hand.”
The bodies of two women were found Thursday night after a man fired shots at Corpus Christi police in the 3000 block of Antelope Street.

The 28-year-old Guindon was working her first shift as an officer with the Prince William County Police Department when she responded to a domestic violence call at the Hamiltons’ home in Woodbridge. Two other officers also were shot by Hamilton, but survived.
A jury spared Hamilton’s life in October when it deadlocked on whether he should get the death penalty.
During the sentencing hearing, Guindon’s mother called Hamilton a “vicious, cold-blooded, heartless killer.”
