Rite Aid Shooter's Girlfriend Died Six Weeks Later: AP

HARFORD COUNTY, MD — The Rite Aid shooter's girlfriend gave officials more insight into the hours and days leading up to the act of violence on Sept. 20 in Perryman. Among the revelations were that the killer was off her medication, had been troubled by finances and sent a text message just before the shootings.

Shooter Snochia Moseley, 26, had been working at the Rite Aid distribution center less than two weeks when she killed four people and injured three others around 9:05 a.m. on Sept. 20.

Her girlfriend — Sharon Forrest, 34 — lived with Moseley in Baltimore County, the Associated Press reported.

In police interviews with Forrest reviewed by the Associated Press, these were some of the findings:

Forrest was there when her girlfriend went home to retrieve her gun.

Investigators said that Moseley had driven from Nottingham to Perryman for work at 6:30 a.m. on Thursday, Sept. 20.

Less than an hour later, she returned home to get her gun. Court records list the address as the 8100 block of Ridgetown Drive in Nottingham.

Forrest told investigators she had been in their apartment sleeping when Moseley returned and wished she had been up so she "could have stopped" her, the AP reported.

Moseley got her 9 mm Glock and returned to work, where she walked outside around break time at 9:05 a.m., pulled a hooded shirt over her head, "and that's when the shooting begins," Harford County Sheriff Jeffrey Gahler said after the incident.

The following victims were killed:

• Sunday Aguda, 45
• Brindra Giri, 41
• Hayleen Reyes, 21

Moseley also died, from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Forrest died on Oct. 31, almost six weeks after the shooting, and the medical examiner ruled her death a suicide, the AP reported.

Moseley was concerned about finances and stopped taking her medication.

Shortly after the shootings, Gahler said investigators determined Moseley had been diagnosed with a mental illness.

"Detectives interviewed family members and friends and executed a search warrant at the White Marsh residence of the shooter looking for some motive or some cause," Gahler said the morning after the shooting. "While no evidence directly related to the shooting was recovered, evidence that the shooter was suffering with a mental illness was identified."

Moseley was diagnosed with a mental illness in 2016, according to Gahler.

"Friends and family members relayed to detectives that over the last two weeks, she had become increasingly agitated, and that they were concerned for her well-being," the sheriff reported.

Major William Davis of the Harford County Sheriff's Office later said that Moseley had schizophrenia, The Aegis reported.

Despite her diagnosis, Forrest said that Moseley "didn't appear to be taking medication for her mental illness" and "had been depressed due to money problems," according to the AP.

The couple texted in their final moments.

Right before the shooting began, the AP said that Moseley sent a text to her girlfriend telling her she could get her car from the Rite Aid distribution center.

The AP also reported that even after Moseley died on Sept. 20, her girlfriend continued texting her, and said that she would "be with her soon."

Forrest died on Oct. 31, the AP reported.
