On February 6, 2021, 7-year-old Ayden Dascher was found dead of a gunshot wound in Saint Regis, Montana. The shooting also killed his 4-year-old brother, Brayden Dascher. Authorities described the incident as a likely murder-suicide and identified the boys’ father as the person believed to have shot both children and then himself.

When officers arrived they found the two children deceased and their father alive but hospitalized; he later died of his injuries. Because the suspect also died, no arrests were made and the deaths were treated as a domestic-related murder-suicide. Very little else about the family’s situation that day is public.

If anyone in Saint Regis that winter remembers the Dascher family or has information about what led to that February 6 incident, please share what is known.
