More than a decade after the brutal stabbing death of Cleveland nurse Aliza Sherman, authorities have arrested her former divorce attorney, Gregory J. Moore, in connection with her murder.
The indictment marks a major development in a case that has haunted Sherman’s family and baffled investigators for years.
Arrest in Aliza Sherman’s Death
Gregory J. Moore, 51, was taken into custody in Austin, Texas, and now faces charges of murder, conspiracy, and kidnapping, according to the Cuyahoga County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office.
His arrest comes following a grand jury indictment issued on May 2, 2025.
The victim, Aliza Sherman, was a 53-year-old mother of four and a registered nurse. She was murdered outside Moore’s downtown Cleveland law office on March 24, 2013.
This arrest is the first in the case, despite years of suspicion and previous legal troubles for Moore related to the investigation.
“This goal was designed to be achieved by causing Aliza Sherman to be unavailable to attend the proceedings due to serious physical harm and/or death,” reads the unsealed indictment, which outlines a plan to prevent Sherman from appearing at a divorce hearing scheduled for the day after her death.
