Shelley Lynn Gillespie was 29 when she was shot to death on July 17, 2019, in Glen Rogers, West Virginia. A mother with a young son who had lived previously in Harrisonburg, Virginia, she was found with a single gunshot wound to the head after deputies from the Wyoming County Sheriff’s Department responded to a report of a possible shooting. Emergency personnel transported her, but she died en route to the hospital.

Investigators identified her boyfriend, Gavin Lee Mongold of Glen Rogers, as a suspect; he was arrested and charged with first-degree murder. The case devastated a small community that remembered Shelley for her warm smile and as a young mother.
