Mandy Michelle Coleman was 22 when she was found dead at her Ridgeway, Virginia, home on Meeks Road on Tuesday, July 22, 2025 — one day after her birthday. She suffered a single gunshot wound to the head. A 68-year-old man, William Morey, was also found shot multiple times after being discovered lying in the road; investigators say Morey had gone to the residence to check on Mandy’s welfare.

Authorities arrested Mandy’s husband, Joshua Corbett Coleman, a little over two hours after the scene when a deputy stopped his vehicle. Two young children believed to be with him were found in the car and were physically unharmed. Officers recovered a handgun and an AR-15 in the vehicle. A criminal complaint says Joshua Coleman confessed, describing an argument in which he accused Mandy of cheating, then shot her, left with the children, and later shot Morey.

Joshua Coleman has been charged with two counts of first-degree murder, use of a firearm in the commission of a felony, shooting from an occupied vehicle, and child abuse and neglect; he is being held without bond. Mandy’s mother has launched a nonprofit called Forever22MW to raise domestic violence awareness.

Did anyone in Ridgeway know Mandy or have information about the events leading up to July 22?
