Ashley Chantel Oglesby was 16 when she was shot multiple times in her Atlanta apartment during the early morning of July 9, 2015. She was asleep in her bed at The Villages of East Lake when she was struck; she was taken to Grady Memorial Hospital and died of her injuries. Ashley was a student at Maynard Jackson High School and had planned to become a pediatrician.

The person who fired the shots was her 27-year-old brother, Marquavis Jamal Oglesby. Their mother and another relative were in the home and witnessed the shooting. Marquavis surrendered at the scene and was booked into the DeKalb County jail on murder charges and held without bond. Family members said Marquavis had been having psychiatric problems and had appeared to be talking incoherently in the days before the shooting; the mother reportedly said Marquavis claimed someone had been chasing and shooting at him and that he had shot back.

What can readers who knew Ashley or the family add about her life or the events leading up to that morning?
