A woman accused of shooting and killing a man over the weekend made her first appearance in court Monday.

Donna Jean Hockman was in Harrisonburg General District Court Monday morning, where attorneys set a date for a preliminary hearing. She will be back in court on September 2.

County investigators recovered the body of 23-year-old Dustin Ray Stout Stanley Friday with multiple gunshot wounds.

The Rockingham County Sheriff's Office says Stanley lived part-time in the home on Grassland Lane, near which his body was found, and part time in Mount Jackson.

On Friday, 34-year-old Hockman, who police say was dating Stanley, was booked at the Rockingham County Jail on a charge of first degree murder.

I guess you think anyone who shoots someone in the back isn't a "sick person"? If what you say is true about him threatening her children, why would she let him keep coming around her/them, maybe because she's a promiscuous sleaze? You don’t buy a gun unless you PLAN to use it and you don’t tell people that you PLAN to kill him.
