MOORE COUNTY, N.C. — After almost a year since the Moore County substation attack, the FBI and sheriff's office are asking for the public's help following a new lead.
Officials are asking the public for assistance to find a minivan seen on December 3, 2022, the night of two electrical substation shootings. Multiple shots were fired at Duke Energy electrical substations located approximately 10 miles apart in West End and Carthage, North Carolina. The damage caused a massive power outage for nearly 45,000 people that lasted five days. One death was ruled to be caused by the power outage.
The van is likely a silver or light blue, 2011-2017, Honda Odyssey.
Investigators are asking anyone who saw the van the night of the shooting between 6:00 p.m.-10:00 p.m. to call the FBI at 1-800-CALL FBI (225-5324), the Moore County Sheriff’s Office tip line at 910-947-4444 or submit a tip online at tips.fbi.gov.
