In Loving Memory of Beau Moore

With heavy hearts, we pause to remember and honor the life of Beau Moore, whose life was tragically lost on the evening of March 11, 2026. Beau, 44, passed away following a traffic collision in Costa Mesa, leaving behind a quiet but profound reminder of the fragility of life and the importance of compassion for every member of our community.

At approximately 8:27 p.m., officers were dispatched to the intersection of Newport Boulevard and East 17th Street following reports of a vehicle and pedestrian collision. When first responders arrived, they found Beau unresponsive and not breathing. Officers immediately began CPR in a desperate effort to save his life until Costa Mesa Fire & Rescue arrived to take over lifesaving procedures. Despite their determined efforts and the care provided by emergency room staff at a nearby hospital, Beau was later pronounced deceased.

Authorities from the Traffic Safety Bureau’s Major Accident Investigation Team responded to carefully examine the circumstances surrounding the collision. Preliminary findings indicate that Beau had been crossing Newport Boulevard from the west side to the east side outside of a marked crosswalk when he was struck by a northbound vehicle. The driver remained at the scene and cooperated fully with officers as investigators began their work to understand exactly what happened that night. The investigation remains ongoing.

While reports may describe Beau as “unhoused,” that single word can never capture the fullness of a human life. Beau Moore was more than a circumstance—he was a person with a past, with experiences, with struggles and stories that mattered. Every life carries meaning, and Beau’s life was no exception. Somewhere along his journey were moments of laughter, connections with others, and memories that shaped the person he became.

His passing serves as a somber reminder of the unseen lives moving through our communities every day—individuals who, regardless of their circumstances, deserve dignity, safety, and compassion. Beau’s story calls us to reflect on how easily a life can be lost and how important it is to look out for one another.

Our thoughts are with Beau’s family and loved ones as they process this heartbreaking loss. The notification of next of kin on March 12 brought the painful reality that someone they cared about deeply is no longer here. Grief has many layers, and for those who knew Beau personally, his absence will undoubtedly leave a space that cannot be filled.

May Beau Moore be remembered not only for the tragedy of his passing but for the humanity he carried throughout his life. Let this moment encourage kindness toward others, especially those facing difficult circumstances. A simple act of compassion can mean more than we realize.

As the investigation continues, anyone who may have witnessed the incident or has additional information is encouraged to contact the investigator handling the case. Every detail could help provide clarity and closure.

Tonight, we pause in reflection and remembrance.

Rest in peace, Beau Moore.

Your life mattered, your story mattered, and you will not be forgotten. 🕊️

In Loving Memory of Joshua “Stewie” 

The community of Paterson is mourning the heartbreaking loss of Joshua “Stewie” Paterson, an 18-year-old young man who tragically lost his life in a daylight tragic incident”

that has shaken family members, friends, and neighbors throughout the city. What should have been another ordinary evening instead turned into a devastating moment that left a family grieving and a community searching for answers.

Joshua, affectionately known by many as “Stewie,” was more than just another name in a news report. To those who knew him personally, he was a son, a friend, and a young man with dreams and potential that had only just begun to unfold. His laughter, personality, and presence brought light into the lives of those around him. Like many teenagers standing on the edge of adulthood, Joshua had his whole future ahead of him—plans to make, goals to pursue, and memories yet to create.

On Wednesday evening, tragedy struck at the corner of Carroll Street and Godwin Avenue, a location long known to many residents as one of the city’s most troubled intersections. Authorities say the 18-year-old was struck by multiple rounds of gunfire shortly before 6:30 p.m. Despite efforts to save him, Joshua was pronounced dead shortly after arriving at St. Joseph’s University Medical Center.

The loss has left an emptiness that words cannot easily describe. Families in the area speak of the fear and sadness that follows when violence claims another young life. Friends who grew up alongside Joshua remember him as someone who shared jokes, music, and everyday moments that now feel painfully precious.

Officials from the Paterson Police Department and the office of Camelia M. Valdes confirmed that the investigation into the shooting remains active. Authorities have not yet announced whether any suspects have been identified or taken into custody. The tragic incident marked the fourth homicide of the year in Paterson, highlighting the ongoing struggle many communities face with violence that affects families and neighborhoods alike.

Investigators are also examining whether the shooting may be connected to another incident reported minutes earlier on Mercer Street, where individuals riding scooters reportedly opened fire on a group of people. Though no injuries were reported in that earlier event, authorities are working to determine if the two situations are related.

While the investigation continues, the focus for many is remembering the life behind the headlines. Joshua “Stewie” Paterson was someone who mattered deeply to those who loved him. His life, though far too short, left a mark on the people who shared moments with him—whether through friendship, family ties, or simple everyday encounters.

Today, candles are lit, tears are shed, and memories are shared as loved ones reflect on the young man they knew. His story is a painful reminder of how quickly life can change and how important it is for communities to stand together in times of grief.

Joshua’s family now faces the unimaginable pain of saying goodbye to someone they should have had many more years with. In moments like this, communities often come together not only to mourn but to support one another, hoping that healing can slowly begin.

Anyone who may have seen something or who has information that could help investigators is encouraged to come forward. Even the smallest detail could help bring clarity and justice in a case that has left so many questions behind.

As Paterson mourns, one truth remains clear: Joshua “Stewie” Paterson will not simply be remembered for the way his life ended, but for the life he lived and the memories he left behind.

May his memory live on in the hearts of those who loved him, and may his family find strength, comfort, and peace in the days ahead. 🕊️💔
