Jessica Kelly, 43, was fatally shot at a residence on Custer Street in Rineyville, Kentucky. The death occurred on November 4, 2021, during the early morning hours before sunrise. Authorities said she was from Lancaster, Pennsylvania, but had little identification on her at the time, which initially made identifying her difficult.

The investigation led to the arrest of 42-year-old Richard A. Cook, a Rineyville resident. Cook was charged with murder described as an act of domestic violence and with tampering with physical evidence. Reports say the shooting occurred at the home of Cook’s grandmother. The motive for Kelly’s presence in Rineyville and the nature of her relationship with Cook remained under investigation.

If anyone knew Jessica, saw her in Rineyville around that time, or has information about her connections to the area, please share what is known.
