Ramzan Daraev Death – Further details are emerging regarding a fatal shooting that took place earlier this month involving a member of the U.S. Army at a residence in Moore County. On May 3, at approximately 8:15 p.m., deputies from the Moore County Sheriff’s Office responded to a trespassing report at a home on Dowd Road in Carthage. According to a news release from the sheriff’s office, the caller reported that an individual was seen taking photographs on the property and had become aggressive towards another resident.
Upon arrival, deputies discovered the body of 35-year-old Ramzan Daraev from Chicago, Illinois. Daraev had sustained multiple gunshot wounds and was found approximately 250 yards away from the road, near a powerline on the residential property. The sheriff’s office later confirmed Daraev’s identity through his family members and an international identification found in his vehicle. It was reported that Daraev was working as a subcontractor for Utilities One, a New Jersey-based company, at the time of his death.
However, investigators are still in the process of verifying his official employment status. The news release also stated that Daraev did not possess any utility equipment, clothing, or identification during the incident. The U.S. Department of Labor and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration have been notified about the incident. The Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) has been involved in the case and provided a translator to assist with interviews of other Utilities One employees.
The shooter has been identified as a U.S. Army service member who resided in the vicinity of the shooting. The investigation is ongoing, and authorities are diligently gathering all relevant information, including autopsy reports and findings from the Chief Medical Examiner’s Office, before reaching a conclusion.
