“Why do you think he’s trying to hurt himself?” the dispatcher asked Kelli, who replied, “Because he told me that.”
“He said he was trying to kill himself,” Kelli responded when asked what Sherrone specifically told her.
When the dispatcher asked where Sherrone was, Kelli replied, “I have no idea.” »
“He just called me and told me he was laid off from his job. He’s in crisis,” she continued. “I told him I loved him and I needed him to come home. But I don’t know where he is. He said he was on a highway.”
The dispatcher then questioned Kelli at her husband’s workplace.
“He works at the University of Michigan… his name is Sherrone Moore,” she said.
Kelli added: “He’s called several times and I’m terrified something will happen and I’ve told him to come home.”
She asked the dispatcher, “Is there anything I can do?”
“No, stay there,” the dispatcher told Kelli. “We’ll contact you, okay? We’ll contact you shortly.”
Moore was fired by the University of Michigan after an internal investigation uncovered an “inappropriate relationship” with a female member of the football staff.
Shortly after being fired and after Kelli called 911, Moore allegedly broke into the staff member’s apartment and threatened to harm her and himself.
“[The staff member] indicated she was approximately 5 feet from the door when he entered,” according to court records. “She indicated she began to back away and he was approaching her. [She] said Moore took two knives out of her drawer and pointed them at her: “You ruined my life. You ruined my life.
Moore allegedly supported the woman “toward the living room” while holding the knives. Once she got her lawyer on the phone, Moore allegedly “stepped back and turned the knives on himself, pointing them at his neck, saying he was going to kill himself and she was going to watch.”
After fleeing his apartment moments later, he was arrested in the parking lot of a nearby church.
