The Northern Virginia community is mourning the death of Lisa Bradford, a longtime real estate professional who was fatally shot Tuesday afternoon at a residence in the Willowsford community near Aldie, Virginia. The Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office is investigating the death as a homicide. The shooting was reported shortly after noon on September 22 in the area of Quimby Oaks Place and Sheffield Forest Drive. According to authorities, deputies responding to a report of a shooting at a residence found an adult woman deceased inside the home. Investigators have continued working to determine the circumstances surrounding the shooting. A Career Serving Northern Virginia Homebuyers Away from the circumstances of her death, Lisa Bradford was known across Northern Virginia for her career in residential real estate. Bradford was the owner of Bradford & Associates and worked as a full-time, full-service Realtor serving clients throughout the region. She had held a real estate license since 2008, building a career around helping clients navigate the purchase and sale of homes. Before moving into real estate, Bradford spent about a decade working in sales for Ford Motor Company. She began as a Zone Manager and later became a Truck Manager, developing experience in sales, leadership and customer service. Bradford was also a graduate of Miami University. Investigation Draws Law Enforcement Response The shooting prompted a significant law enforcement response in the surrounding area. Authorities searched for a suspect believed to have left the scene, and nine nearby schools were placed under secure-building status as a precaution while the situation was being addressed. An alert circulated during the investigation identified Roger Paul Bradford, 60, as Lisa Bradford’s husband and an alleged suspect. The alert reportedly characterized him as armed and dangerous. Some additional information included in the circulating alert, including references to vehicles, had not been independently confirmed through the official sheriff’s information reviewed for this report. Those details should therefore not be treated as established facts. Because the investigation remains active, any allegations involving a potential suspect should be understood as allegations unless and until established through the appropriate legal process.
