On February 14, 2021, 74-year-old Russell Heard was shot and killed at his home on Galloways Mill Road in Rockfield, Kentucky. Multiple visitors arrived at the property seeking his son, Bradley Heard. During an argument one visitor, Daniel Moore, produced a handgun and fired multiple shots; both Russell and Bradley were struck. The Warren County Coroner pronounced Russell Heard dead at the scene from a fatal gunshot wound. Bradley Heard survived after being shot three times.

During the altercation Bradley Heard allegedly stabbed Daniel Moore. Both Moore and Bradley were taken into custody; Moore was charged with murder in connection with Russell Heard’s death and Bradley was initially charged with first-degree assault. Moore told investigators he had gone to the property to retrieve a gun he said had been taken by a woman who was with Bradley in a camper, and that Bradley emerged armed with two knives. Moore said he fired a warning shot and then additional rounds and claimed he did not know Russell had been hit.

Bradley Heard later pleaded guilty to a reduced charge of first-degree wanton endangerment and was sentenced to five years in prison. A grand jury declined to indict Daniel Moore on a manslaughter charge. Does anyone have information about the events at the Galloways Mill Road property that afternoon?
