Anne Wyatt Ford‑Cox, 56, was killed by gunfire in her Hampton, Virginia, home late on July 6, 2020. She was asleep on a living room couch near the front of the house when a round struck her in the head; other bullets perforated additional rooms and hit the mattress where her adult daughter had been sleeping. Calls about gunfire came in around 11:30 p.m., and she was taken to a local hospital with life‑threatening injuries but did not survive.

Investigators described the attack as a barrage, with dozens of rounds fired into the 100 block of Aspenwood Drive. Police later charged David L. Andrews of Hampton, and prosecutors alleged the shooting was retaliation aimed at Ford‑Cox’s husband after an argument reported 16 days earlier. Reporting noted there was no evidence linking the attack to her father’s former work as a retired Hampton Circuit Court judge, Walter J. Ford.

A Hampton jury found Andrews not guilty in January 2022 of second‑degree murder and two firearms offenses; he was the only person charged in connection with Ford‑Cox’s killing. Does anyone have information about what happened that night or additional leads for investigators?
