Ashley Marie Midby, 34, was killed in Bellevue, Idaho, on the morning of October 22, 2020. She was found dead in an office adjacent to the coffee shop she managed, a spot where she was well-known in the community. Both Midby and her boyfriend, 28-year-old Jared Murphy, died of gunshot wounds in what investigators determined was a murder-suicide.

Murphy was a Hailey Police Department officer and had been a candidate for mayor of Bellevue. The couple had lived together and had been in a relationship since 2018. Three days before the shooting, police responded to a domestic disturbance at their home in which Midby reported verbal and emotional abuse by Murphy; Murphy was placed on administrative leave afterward. He was fired the same day he carried out the fatal attack and then took his own life. Investigators later described the killing as premeditated and intentional, and no arrests were made since the only suspect died at the scene.
