Ashton Deon Randle, 24, was found fatally shot on May 20, 2012, in a wooded area off Forest Service Road 197 near Shelbyville, Texas. Two people on a four-wheeler discovered his body just south of Strong Cemetery on FM 139; the Shelby County Sheriff’s Office responded to a call at about 6:40 p.m. An autopsy confirmed a gunshot as the cause of death and authorities opened a homicide investigation.

The sheriff’s office has continued to develop leads and collect evidence but has not publicly identified any suspects. Officials have appealed to the public for information and stressed there is no statute of limitations for homicide in Texas as they pursue justice for Ashton and his family. Any detail, no matter how small, could help — did anyone see or hear something in the area that evening?
