Ashley Baskerville, 21, was found dead in her Richmond, Virginia home on January 6, 2006, alongside her mother Mary Baskerville-Tucker, 46, and stepfather Percyell Tucker, 55. All three were discovered gagged and bound with duct tape in a ransacked house on East Broad Rock Road. While Mary and Percyell had their throats slashed, the cause of death for all three was suffocation from layers of duct tape wrapped around their heads; a plastic bag was also secured over Ashley’s head with duct tape.

Investigators connected the triple homicide to a broader crime spree that included the brutal murders of the Harvey family days earlier. Two men, Ricky Javon Gray and his nephew Ray Joseph Dandridge, were arrested in Philadelphia on January 7, 2006, after a tip from someone who knew Ashley led police to the Baskerville-Tucker residence. Both men confessed: Dandridge admitted to the murders of Ashley and her parents, while Gray confessed to the Harvey family killings. Court testimony indicated Ashley had acted as a lookout in the earlier Harvey crimes and was wearing a Harvey victim’s wedding ring.

Ray Joseph Dandridge pleaded guilty to the three Baskerville-Tucker murders and received life without parole. Anyone who knew Ashley or has information about her role in the earlier crimes is asked to come forward.
