JEFFREY MOYER

Tampa Police, working with the assistance of the United States Marshals
Service Fugitive Task Force, have arrested 48-year-old Jeffrey Moyer on charges stemming from the drug overdose death of
29-year-old Kenny Martin on February 8, 2024.

Tampa Police Chief Lee Bercaw said, “This is the first arrest Tampa Police have made on a murder charge resulting from the unlawful distribution of controlled substances.

“In Tampa, we have zero tolerance for drug dealing and we will pursue
every avenue available in holding those responsible accountable to the fullest
extent of the law.”

On February 8, 2024, Tampa Police officers responded to the report of a
medical emergency on N. Forest Hills Dr. There, they found Martin unresponsive
in the bathroom and, despite life-saving efforts, he died shortly after being
transported to a nearby hospital. Officers recovered two baggies from Martin’s
pants pocket. A preliminary test of the contents was completed, with results
indicating narcotics.

A detailed investigation by Tampa Police Detectives revealed that Martin had
purchased narcotics from Moyer earlier that day.

Testing confirmed the
presence of both methamphetamine and fentanyl in the recovered baggies. The Hillsborough County Medical Examiner determined the substances, supplied by Moyer, directly caused Martin’s death.

On Friday, May 24, 2024, Moyer was arrested at his home and charged with first-degree murder resulting from the unlawful distribution of a controlled
substance. He was transported to Pasco County Jail.
