On the evening of Tuesday, February 11, 2020, 31-year-old Ashley Stephan Dixon was shot several times at the Colonial Village apartment complex on Sheehan Court in Kingston, New York. Police arrived after reports of shots fired around 7:30 p.m. and found Dixon with multiple gunshot wounds; he was taken to HealthAlliance Hospital’s Broadway Campus and pronounced dead.

Investigators say a verbal dispute between Dixon and 35-year-old Cory Q. Smith escalated and that Smith allegedly shot Dixon three times before fleeing the Kingston area. Smith, who has addresses in the Bronx and Kingston, was located in the Bronx the following day on a federal probation violation and later indicted. On March 20, 2020, authorities charged Smith with second-degree murder. Smith’s record includes prior convictions related to cocaine sales and weapons from a 2006 arrest that resulted in a 10-year sentence.

If anyone witnessed the February 11 incident or has information about Dixon’s movements that evening, please share what is known.
