On the afternoon of Monday, April 6, 2026, 22-year-old Ava Woodcock was shot while seated in her vehicle in the parking lot of Annie’s Restaurant on Cleveland Avenue in Glasgow, Kentucky. Law enforcement described the incident as a domestic incident; according to reports, Woodcock sounded her car horn and a man identified as 24-year-old Brandon Lee Bond allegedly crossed the street and opened fire at her car. The vehicle continued moving and then crashed.

Woodcock, who was pregnant and already mother to a one-year-old daughter, was critically injured and taken to a Louisville hospital, where she died on April 7, 2026. Her unborn daughter, to be named Neveah Marie Woodcock, also did not survive. Bond fled the scene but was later found in a wooded area behind a nearby recycling company and taken into custody; authorities said he had been drinking that day and was initially uncooperative. Bond has been charged with multiple offenses, including murder first-degree fetal homicide and first-degree fleeing or evading police on foot; the charges were upgraded after the deaths.

Woodcock graduated from Hart County High School in 2022 and worked at the Walmart Super Center in Glasgow. Loved ones remembered her for a contagious laugh, her kindness, and her goal of becoming a veterinarian; she cherished being mother to her daughter Chloe. Does anyone who knew Ava or witnessed the April 6 scene have information that could help clarify what happened?
