On the morning of February 16, 2026, Ashley Flynn, 37, was found dead inside her home on Cunningham Court in Tipp City, Ohio. A 911 call placed by her husband around 2:31 a.m. reported a possible home burglary and that a resident had been shot. Officers discovered Ashley with two gunshot wounds and she was pronounced dead at the scene; her husband and their two young daughters were inside the home and were physically unharmed.

Investigators initially treated the case as a homicide during a home invasion, noting signs of forced entry and finding two shell casings; police canines did not locate a suspect trail. Authorities described the incident as an isolated, targeted event involving that residence. The Tipp City Police Department and multiple agencies were involved in the investigation.

Ashley was remembered by family and the community as a warm, kind presence: a Tipp City High School and Lee University graduate, a former Tipp City Schools teacher, substitute teacher, seventh-grade girls volleyball coach at Tippecanoe Middle School, LifeWise Academy instructor and church volunteer.
