This week, FBI Springfield recognized Illinois State Police Troop 8 Trooper Jeff A. Royer (Troop 8) and Trooper William P. Printy (Statewide Anti‑Violence Enforcement – SAVE South Unit) for their outstanding work leading to the arrest of FBI Wanted Fugitive Dontay R. Moore Jr. on September 26, 2025.

Moore, a member of the East Saint Louis gang known as the Lundy Mobb, served as an enforcer for the group and was the primary suspect in a drive‑by murder linked to multiple shootings and other violent crimes. He had previously been indicted for possession of a machine gun along with two other Lundy Mobb members and was later added to the FBI Wanted Fugitive List. A $15,000 reward was issued for information leading to his arrest.

At approximately 7:30 PM on September 26, Trooper Royer and Trooper Printy observed a vehicle with a missing registration and illegal window tint. When they attempted a traffic stop, the vehicle refused to comply and continued at a low rate of speed. Moments later, an individual—later identified as Moore—jumped from the vehicle and fled on foot. The Troopers pursued and successfully took him into custody.

Their quick and coordinated actions were critical to the success of a nearly four‑month manhunt involving dozens of agents and extensive investigative efforts. Moore later pled guilty and, in June 2026, was sentenced to 8 years in federal prison—a strong result for our territory.

This arrest was also part of the broader ISP SAVE Initiative, which resulted in:
• 37 arrests
• 37 felony charges
• 61 total criminal charges
• 17 fi****ms‑related charges
• 13 fi****ms seized

Outstanding work by all involved. These efforts continue to make a meaningful impact on the safety of our communities.
