Rolshawun D. Goff, a 46-year-old African American man, was shot to death at his Paris, Texas, apartment on December 27, 2020. That evening he was home watching Christmas movies with family, including his four-year-old daughter, when Ashton Jacorrien Green—who had earlier been given a cigarette by Goff after smoking on the balcony—returned and shot Goff multiple times in the head and neck. Several family members witnessed the attack.

Paris police recovered the murder weapon discarded at a nearby house and arrested Green about 15 minutes after the shooting, near Crockett Intermediate School. The child was later placed in foster care. A Lamar County jury convicted Green of murder after roughly 30 minutes of deliberation; he was sentenced to 99 years in prison following the trial in the 6th District Court before Judge Wes Tidwell.

Anyone who knew Goff or was in that area on December 27, 2020, and has information that could shed more light on the case is asked to come forward.
