Jessica Jane Hoffman, 34, had recently returned to Richmond, Indiana, to stay with her mother after telling her that her husband, Vincent Joel Allen Hoffman, was using cocaine and making accusations. On the afternoon of December 3, 2021, Vincent drove from Riverside, Ohio, to the Hickory Drive mobile home park, kicked open the trailer’s front door, and shot Jessica twice at close range. A relative discovered her body before 2 p.m. that day; an autopsy confirmed fatal gunshot wounds to the chest and head.

Richmond police focused on Jessica’s estranged husband, who was taken into custody the next day. After being shown surveillance placing his SUV in the mobile home park that morning, he began crying and confessed. He told detectives he had been awake for days, using cocaine, and said voices he believed were the devil had told him to shoot his wife. He led investigators to a spot along Interstate 70 where he had discarded the handgun and ammunition; those items were recovered.

A murder charge was filed and the case proceeded through Wayne Circuit Court. Does anyone have information about Jessica’s time in Richmond before December 1, 2021, or about her movements in the days leading up to December 3?
