On March 14, 2013, 51-year-old Van Wesley Bell Jr. was shot and killed in the yard of his home on Fisher Circle in Staunton, Virginia. The killing came in a normally quiet neighborhood and was the city’s first homicide in nearly two and a half years.

Authorities identified 61-year-old Steven Glenn Moore of Stuarts Draft as the man who drove to the residence. Moore was the estranged husband of the woman with whom Bell lived. A physical altercation between Bell and Moore near the front door reportedly escalated and Moore is said to have fired the shots. A witness at the scene gave a description of Moore and his truck to law enforcement.

Moore was arrested and charged with first-degree murder and use of a firearm in the commission of a felony, and later found guilty of those charges. In October 2022, at age 71, he was denied geriatric parole by the Virginia Parole Board, which said release would diminish the seriousness of the crime and he should serve more of his sentence.
