Moreau and Guillaume Lafleur were shot by order of the insurgents of Les Cayes.

On 16 October squadron leader Racolier, charged with both executions, notifies Lafleur to follow him to Camp-Gérard, where Moreau had been transferred. A halt is made at the crossroads of Fonfrède. The unfortunate Lafleur then sees that for him it was the fatal moment; he spurs his horse; the squadron overtakes him before the Labarière plantation and cuts him down with sabers without pity (1)!

Moreau, for his part, was at table when he heard the sound of the trumpet: “Come, my friends,” he said to those around him, “all is over for me!…” He went to dress himself with all his customary luxury. Arrived at the crossroads of Touya, he turned toward Racolier and said to him coldly: “Are we not well placed here?” “Further on,” was the reply. They reached the rear of the Pémerle plantation, at the place called la Ravine. Moreau dismounted, wrote in pencil to his wife a few words of farewell, and presented himself of his own accord to a discharge of pistols, which was fired at point-blank range.
