On the night of February 19, 2022, 15-year-old La’Abryion Aubry Doxley was inside her home on McKee Street in Columbia, Missouri, when gunfire from a car outside struck her through the wall while she lay in bed. Aubry, a tenth-grader at Battle High School described as bright, bubbly and a caregiver to her younger siblings, was killed; a juvenile male and an adult male were also wounded in the same shooting.

Authorities identified three teenage suspects in the case: Samarion Robins, Oscar Ashford and Tavan Williams-Patrick. Robins was certified to be tried as an adult. Prosecutors say the attack was retaliation for an earlier incident and that the suspects drove a black Nissan to Doxley’s residence before opening fire. Charges filed included second-degree murder, armed criminal action and unlawful use of a weapon.

Charges against Williams-Patrick were later dropped with the possibility they could be refiled; his lawyers argued he was in a hospital with a gunshot wound at the time. Robins and Ashford were denied bond reduction and prosecutors sought a joint trial to spare Aubry’s family multiple proceedings; a trial for Robins and Ashford was set for November. If anyone knew Aubry or saw activity near McKee Street on February 19, 2022, please come forward with information.
