Andrew Baylor Hoover, 26, of Timberville, Virginia, was fatally shot on July 4, 2020, in Broadway after a series of confrontations that began in a Wal‑Mart parking lot. According to reports, a verbal dispute there preceded Hoover leaving in a Honda Civic while a Ford Explorer Sport Trac driven by Antone James Tavares, 21, followed. Another argument reportedly occurred at a 7-Eleven on South Main Street before the confrontation moved to the area of Thatcher Bridge Lane and West Springbrook Avenue. At about 10:30 a.m. Hoover was shot twice after exiting his vehicle and was transported for emergency care but died before reaching the landing zone.

Broadway Police and the Rockingham County Sheriff’s Office responded to shots fired. Tavares was arrested at the scene and charged with first-degree murder; he was held at the Rockingham Harrisonburg Regional Jail without bond. Hoover, born July 22, 1993, in Harrisonburg, was remembered by family as a loving, active man who enjoyed basketball and making music and was the father of two daughters.
