Brandon Lee Bond is accused in the deaths of Ava Woodcock and her unborn daughter after an April shooting in Glasgow.

GLASGOW, Ky. — A Barren County grand jury has indicted a Glasgow man accused of shooting a pregnant woman as she sat in a car, a case that left the woman and her unborn daughter dead and moved the prosecution into circuit court.

Brandon Lee Bond faces charges of murder related to domestic violence, first-degree fetal homicide and first-degree fleeing or evading police on foot in the deaths of 22-year-old Ava “Jane” Renee Lynn Woodcock and her unborn daughter, Neveah Marie Woodcock. The indictment marks a key step in a case that began with a reported shooting off Cleveland Avenue on April 6 and now centers on what prosecutors say was a domestic attack.

The case began when law enforcement officers were called to Cleveland Avenue in Glasgow after a shooting was reported. Police said Woodcock was inside a vehicle when Bond allegedly shot her after a domestic incident, then ran into a nearby wooded area. Glasgow Police Department public information officer Terry Flatt said investigators were treating the shooting as an active case from the start. Officers and emergency crews found Woodcock with life-threatening injuries and moved quickly to get her medical care.

Woodcock was first taken to T.J. Samson Community Hospital, then flown to the University of Louisville Hospital as doctors tried to save her. Police later confirmed that she died April 7. Her unborn daughter, whom family members identified as Neveah Marie Woodcock, also died. The charges against Bond were updated after the deaths, changing the case from attempted murder and attempted fetal homicide to murder related to domestic violence and first-degree fetal homicide. Police said there was no ongoing danger to the community after Bond was taken into custody.

Officers found Bond in the same wooded area where police said he fled after the shooting. He was taken to the Barren County Jail, where he remained held on a $2 million cash bond after the indictment. Jail and court records list him as a Glasgow resident. The indictment returned by the Barren County grand jury charges him on all three counts presented in the case. The murder and fetal homicide counts are Class A felonies under Kentucky law, while fleeing or evading police on foot is listed as a Class C felony.

The indictment does not decide guilt. It means grand jurors found probable cause for the case to move forward. Barren County Commonwealth’s Attorney John Gardner met with members of Woodcock’s family outside a courtroom at the Barren County Courthouse after the indictment, according to local reporting from the courthouse. Prosecutors have not publicly released all evidence in the case. The relationship between Bond and Woodcock has not been fully detailed in public records, though police and prosecutors have described the shooting as tied to a domestic incident.

Woodcock’s obituary described her as a Walmart Super Center employee in Glasgow, a 2022 graduate of Hart County High School and a mother to a young daughter named Chloe. Her family wrote that Woodcock loved animals and dreamed of becoming a veterinarian. They remembered her as thoughtful, caring and kind, and said her laughter could fill a room. The obituary also named Neveah Marie Woodcock and listed the two together in remembrance after their deaths at the University of Louisville Hospital.

Family members held visitation and funeral services April 13 at Brooks Funeral Home in Munfordville, followed by burial in Northtown Family Cemetery. The public details released in the obituary gave a fuller picture of Woodcock’s life beyond the criminal case. It said she had been saved at Oak Grove Baptist Church at age 13, had cheered at LeGrande Elementary and found joy in holidays with family and friends. Several parents, siblings, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins and other relatives were listed among her survivors. The shooting added another violent case to the Barren County court docket and drew attention because two deaths are alleged from one attack. The fetal homicide charge reflects the death of Woodcock’s unborn daughter as a separate criminal count. The murder charge names Woodcock, while the fleeing count focuses on what police say Bond did immediately after the shooting. Investigators have not publicly described a motive, the weapon involved or the exact moments before gunfire on Cleveland Avenue.

Bond’s next steps in court include formal proceedings tied to the indictment, including arraignment and later hearings where prosecutors and defense counsel may address discovery, bond status and scheduling. A court appearance was set for June 1 after the indictment was reported. Any trial date would be set later by the court. Bond is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in court, and no public conviction had been reported as of the latest update.

The case now stands as a prosecution in Barren County against Bond on three felony counts tied to the April 6 shooting and the April 7 deaths of Woodcock and Neveah Marie Woodcock. The next milestone is the court schedule following the grand jury indictment.
