Ashton Dominick Collins, 32, was shot and killed on August 11, 2016, during a robbery at a home in East Austin on the 1800 block of Elmira Road. Collins, originally from New Orleans, was a former University of Texas track standout who earned three All-American honors and held the school record for the indoor 400-meter dash for 13 years. On the night he died Collins was shooting dice with a small group when two women went out for drinks and returned with three armed men who rushed in behind them. Witnesses and an arrest affidavit say a struggle occurred and 44-year-old Marvin Henson shot Collins several times; Henson was arrested and charged with murder and held in the Travis County Jail.

The case took a turn when charges against Henson were dropped by a Travis County grand jury in February 2017 after a witness told police Henson acted in self-defense during an alleged struggle over a handgun. Collins had a criminal history that included arrests in 2009 and 2010 for armed robbery—one involving his twin brother Aaron—and also pursued music under the stage name Twin Out Da Six, having organized a benefit concert and been signed to a local label. Does anyone have additional information about Collins, the Elmira Road incident, or witnesses from that night?
