On July 3, 2021, 36-year-old Jessica Ryan Moore was shot while driving on Burks Hill Road in Bedford, Virginia. Emergency crews took her to Bedford Memorial Hospital after the shooting around 10 p.m., but she died of her wound. The passenger in Moore’s vehicle was identified as 34-year-old Daniel Joseph Norwood of Lynchburg, her boyfriend, and two children were also in the car—one Moore’s and one Norwood’s.

Bedford investigators say Norwood, who was intoxicated, was in the passenger seat attempting to unload a firearm when it discharged and struck Moore. Norwood was arrested and charged with involuntary manslaughter and reckless handling of a firearm; he was convicted and sentenced in July 2022. Moore is remembered as a mother, daughter, and sister.

If anyone has information about the moments before the shooting or knew Jessica’s movements that evening, please share what you know.
