On October 20, 2024, 38-year-old Tara Kisor died after being shot while driving on Four Mile Road in Franklin Township, Jackson County, Ohio. According to the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office, Tara attempted to flee from her husband, 37-year-old Steven Kisor, who pursued her on a motorcycle and allegedly fired an automatic rifle at her vehicle. The gunfire caused her to lose control and crash through a fence; she was taken to Holzer Medical Center in Jackson and pronounced dead.

After the shooting, deputies say Steven Kisor opened fire on responding officers, then fled into a nearby field and wooded area. A multi-agency manhunt deployed aviation units and drones and established a two-mile perimeter. During a standoff lasting several hours with intermittent exchanges of gunfire, Kisor reportedly posted on social media about the events; he surrendered to law enforcement around 1:00 a.m. on October 20 and was booked into the Jackson County Jail on murder and additional charges. Two days earlier he had allegedly pointed a gun at a female and was wanted at the time of the incident. Tara Kisor is remembered as a mother of three.
