Ashley N. Stephens was 28 when she was killed in Omaha, Nebraska, on a Tuesday night in February 2019. Investigators with the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office determined her death was part of a murder-suicide near 134th and Meredith. Authorities identified her 61-year-old boyfriend, Jonathan Hartley, as the person who shot Stephens and then turned the gun on himself; Hartley was taken to the Nebraska Medical Center and died the following night.

Stephens was the mother of two young children, ages five and four, from a previous relationship with Chris Hove. A recent snowstorm changed the planned custody arrangement, so the children were with their father the night of the shooting rather than with their mother. Hove said Stephens had previously mentioned Hartley’s struggles with depression.

If anyone knew Ashley or has information about the events that led to that night near 134th and Meredith, please share what you know.
