Original story: MEDFORD, Ore. – A Jacksonville resident awaiting trial for allegedly shooting and killing her uncle back in 2016 is waiting to hear if she’s able to leave jail.
Aisling Tucker Moore-Reed, noted author and former journalist, is accused of murdering Shane Patrick Moore in July of 2016 outside of the Applegate Valley.
Moore-Reed’s mother previously told NBC5 News that her brother was physically assaulting her when he was shot and killed.
Moore-Reed was originally charged with two counts of manslaughter. However, last fall a grand jury added a murder charge after the district attorney’s office found new evidence.
During a January 4, 2019 hearing to establish if Moore-Reed will be eligible for bail, that evidence was presented. Investigators said they found a video on her phone from the moment the shooting occurred. The video doesn’t show the shooting, but it can be heard.
When Moore-Reed’s Friday hearing was finished, the judge denied bail. She’ll remain behind bars until her trial in May.
