Dishaye ShayMoney Stevenson was a 35-year-old entrepreneur, mother and daughter described by family as lively and devoted. She had been a varsity track, soccer and basketball athlete and opened ShayMoney Purses & More in 2021 before later working as a tax preparer. She cared for a 16-year-old daughter and a partially paralyzed mother.

On the morning of Wednesday, October 25, 2023, Dallas police responded to a shooting call around 7:20 a.m. in the 1600 block of Murdock Road in southeast Dallas. Officers found Stevenson on the side of the road; she had been shot in the chest at close range and died at the scene. Police arrested her husband, 39-year-old Michael Smith, later that same day and charged him with murder; he was booked into the Dallas County Jail on a $1,000,000 bond.

Family members described the marriage as tumultuous, saying Smith was outwardly sweet with family but different behind closed doors, and noting prior red flags. The case was moving through the justice system as of October 2024. Does anyone have information about Dishaye’s life, routines, or that morning on Murdock Road that could help explain what happened?
