Boca double homicide: Suspect caught in Georgia told fiancee he left town on business trip

BOCA RATON — Moments after fleeing the scene of a triple shooting at a Boca Raton beachside hotel last month, De’Vante Moss returned to his home in Boynton Beach , packed a suitcase and told his fiancée he was leaving for a business trip to Jacksonville, according to a police arrest report recently made public.

Nearly 12 hours later, Georgia State Police pulled over Moss’ silver Jaguar sedan just south of Macon and took him into custody. Now he is back in Palm Beach County, returned to its main jail on Friday, Oct. 4, to face charges in the Sept. 20 murders of Christopher Liszak, 49, and Chandler Dill, 32, and the attempted murder of Tuan Duy Hoang Ho, 41.

Boca Raton police said Moss shot Liszak and Dill at close range and fired multiple shots at Ho during a confrontation in the parking lot of the 365 Ocean extended-stay hotel on North Ocean Boulevard north of East Palmetto Park Road.

During a hearing on Oct. 5 at the jail, Circuit Judge G. Joseph Curley assigned Moss a public defender and ordered that he be held without bail. As a policy, the county Public Defender’s Office does not comment on open cases.
