A grand jury in Nelson County, Virginia has indicted a woman in connection with a 2025 killing.
The Commonwealth’s Attorney’s Office announced that Katelynn Hipes has been charged with first-degree murder and the use of a firearm in the commission of a felony.
Hipes is accused of killing Kevin Small, who was discovered in April 2025 by a FedEx driver on Serenity Drive. When found, Small had been shot in the chest and was sitting on a tractor unclothed.
