MEDFORD. Ore. – Additional evidence led to a murder charge against a local author and former journalist who was scheduled to go to trial later this month.
Aisling Tucker Moore-Reed, who goes also by Tucker Reed, is accused of shooting and killing her uncle Shane Patrick-Moore.
It happened at a family property in the Applegate back in July of 2016.
Moore-Reed was charged with two counts of manslaughter, but last week the grand jury added a murder charge.
The Jackson County District Attorney’s Office said new evidence led to the change.
In the days after the shooting, Moore-Reed’s mother told NBC5 News that her brother had threatened to kill her and was physically assaulting her when he was shot.
