Ashley Rodriguez, 28, was fatally shot during a home invasion on October 11, 2016, at about 10 p.m. in the 500 block of Center Street in Richmond, Texas. Two armed men entered the residence while Ashley and a friend were inside and demanded money. When Ashley refused, the suspects opened fire, striking her multiple times. She was taken to Memorial Hermann–The Texas Medical Center and later died of her injuries.

Investigators described the suspects as two Black men. One was about 20 years old, slender, roughly 5 feet 7 inches with shoulder-length braided hair and wearing black. The other was described as 5 feet 10 inches to 6 feet tall, skinny, wearing a black hooded sweatshirt. Both fled on foot. The Richmond Police Department and Fort Bend County Crime Stoppers offered a $5,000 reward; no arrests have been announced and the case remains unsolved.

Rodriguez served five years in the United States Army and later worked at a McDonald’s in Rosenberg; co-workers honored her by wearing black ribbons and lowering the flag to half-staff. If anyone has information about that night or the two men seen fleeing, please come forward.
