Ashton Allen Smith, 22, of Livingston, Texas, was shot and killed inside a home at 201 Maple Lane on January 6, 2021. Officers responded at about 5:45 PM after two 911 calls reporting gunshots. Multiple people at the residence were shot; Ashton was found on the floor and pronounced dead at the scene from multiple gunshot wounds. His wife Erin Pasket and their daughter Khloe Faith Smith were wounded but survived.

Witnesses told police two men forced their way into the house and began shooting. Investigators say Cole Byron Tucker and Jared William Hope were identified as the two suspects who fled; a third suspect has not been identified. The account states Tucker began firing on entry and Ashton returned fire before succumbing to his wounds. Arrest warrants were issued for Tucker and Hope; Tucker was later arrested in Houston and the search for Hope continued.

Ashton was born January 8, 1998, in Humble, Texas, and is survived by his wife, daughter, parents Billy Smith and Claressa Hartman, and three sisters Raven Smith, Skie Smith and Destiny Snyder. Does anyone have information about the third unidentified suspect or the events at 201 Maple Lane that evening?
