Shane Patrick Moore, 63, was shot and killed at his mother’s home on Thompson Creek Road in the Applegate area of Jacksonville, Oregon on July 26, 2016. The killing grew out of an ongoing family dispute over the inheritance and management of the mother’s property. Moore had been caring for their elderly mother and had arranged for a notary to visit so a deed could be signed to split the property between him and his sister, Kelly Moore.

During the confrontation Moore-Reed fired a single fatal shot to his chest. Moore-Reed and her mother initially claimed self-defense, and she was arrested on manslaughter charges. A smartphone video later emerged that prosecutors said captured the argument, the gunshot, and Moore-Reed’s reaction, prompting an upgrade to murder charges in September 2018. In May 2020 Moore-Reed pleaded guilty to second-degree manslaughter and received a 75-month sentence; the more serious charges were dropped as part of the plea.

Are there details from the Applegate community or from neighbors that could shed more light on how the dispute escalated to lethal violence?
