VINELAND, NJ.- On Wednesday, a 26-year-old Vineland, New Jersey, man was taken into custody and charged in connection with an apparent dispute that led to the brutal stabbing of his grandfather to death late Tuesday night inside their Vineland, New Jersey home.
According to Cumberland County Prosecutor Jennifer Webb-McRae, on Tuesday, August 26, 2025, at around 11:00 p.m., members of the Vineland Police Department responded to a 911 Emergency Call reporting a stabbing incident inside a Diamond Drive home in the City of Vineland, New Jersey.

Mr. Moir was immediately transported to a nearby hospital, where, despite life-saving efforts, Mr. Moir succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced deceased a short time later.
During a swift-moving investigation, Detectives of the Cumberland County Prosecutor’s Office and the Vineland Police Department quickly determined that Mr. Moir’s grandson, Shawn A.
