Ashley Marie Hurt, 38, was one of two people killed in a double homicide on East 5th Avenue in Knoxville on April 28, 2020. She was found inside a residence with a fatal gunshot wound to the head; Randolph Ray Ingram, 60, was found in the street and had multiple gunshot wounds. Both were pronounced dead at the scene.

Ashley was described as friendly and a devoted mother. She graduated from Spring Valley High School and spent much of her adult life in the Huntington, West Virginia area. Her children are Cheyenne Hatten and Travis Hurt, and she is remembered by family and friends including lifelong best friend Candace Skagg.

Police identified 30-year-old Lamar Todd Mallett as a suspect. The arrest warrant alleges Mallett entered Ingram’s home shortly before 12:30 a.m., shot Hurt in the head inside the house, then chased Ingram into the street and shot him multiple times. Mallett was arrested and booked on two counts of first-degree murder as the investigation continued.

If anyone knew Ashley or has information about what happened that night, please come forward.
