The family of Jordan Moore say the Calgary man was being “noble and brave” when he was fatally shot while coming to the aid of a stranger.

Moore’s brother, Jason, said Jordan was “on a typical evening walk in Kensington” and was acting as a Samaritan when he was killed early Tuesday morning.

“Though details are limited due to the ongoing police investigation, what we have been advised of is that while on his walk, Jordan saw an altercation and intervened on behalf of someone in need,” Jason told Postmedia in a statement.

“During the altercation, he was shot. We were told that Jordan acted in an extremely noble and brave manner.”

The 34-year-old was found shot in the 100 block of 15th Street N.W.

He was taken to Foothills Medical Centre in critical, life-threatening condition, and later died.

Jason said his brother enjoyed working with his hands and “was a vibrant and caring man who loved music, reading and writing poetry, the outdoors and camping.”
