“I mourn the transition of my friend and brother, City Manager Bruce T. Moore,” Scott posted on social media. “Please keep his family and friends in your prayers.”

Moore was the city’s lead on the development of the William Jefferson Clinton Presidential Center and Park and served key roles in planning city events while serving as the chief administrative officer for Little Rock.
